Ndomo - Mali Segou is a quiet little town on the banks of the Niger River, it is known as the capital of mud cloth and it is where textile designer Boubacar Doumbia built his workshop 16 years ago, and named it Ndomo - which means "the quest for knowledge" in local Bambara language. Here he welcomed young people who had no opportunity to receive formal education into his collective. Following the traditional model of youth apprenticeship in Mali, Boubacar teaches professional, people and life skills in the Ndomo community, encouraging his apprentices to become independent, creative, and innovative entrepreneurs. |
