This support was announced during the Nkumu Fed Fed Jamboree held at the Gwan Multipurpose Center (GMC) on Tuesday, April 22, 2025.

Eunice Tita Tata, President General of Nkumu Fed Fed, stated, 

"Nkumu Fed Fed derives its strength from our secure livelihood program. We have been actively engaged in peace-building and social cohesion initiatives, empowering women through entrepreneurial programs by providing them with capital of FCFA 500,000 to kickstart small businesses."

One of the beneficiaries is a Muslim group in Bali, led by Ramatou, who expressed gratitude for the empowerment. 

"We Muslim women have benefited significantly. We are using the funds wisely as a group, and it truly benefits us. We do not pressure members for interest after they receive money for economic activities," Ramatou explained. "Instead, we contribute based on what we feel comfortable giving."

"I want to thank Nkumu Fed Fed for all they have done for the people of Bali. To the women who pooled their resources together, I encourage you not to relent in your efforts. To the beneficiaries, I advise you to make the most of what you have received from Nkumu Fed Fed."

The DO emphasized that the development of the Bali Sub Division depends largely on women, encouraging them to foster peace in the community, as they play a vital role in restoring harmony.
