Inforpress learned from women entrepreneurs that the revival of the Lajedos fair, one of the oldest in the municipality of Porto Novo, is a concern for the group, which is preparing, in partnership with the city hall, to revive this event.
In a recent meeting with the President of the Republic, during a visit to Santo Antão, the women entrepreneurs expressed their desire to recover this fair, conceived within the scope of the Lajedos community development project, run by the non-governmental organization Atelier Mar.
