Nubian Women Get A Chance In Life
More than 20 years ago, Egypt completed one of Africa's most dramatic public works projects - the Aswan Dam. As the River Nile rose behind it, creating the 300-mile long Lake Nasser, many villages were inundated and their Nubian inhabitants relocated to new communities down river. The International Labour Office, the ILO, is helping these villages - particularly the women - find new industrial and agricultural activities to build a new life.
