31/03/2014
The money will go directly to a factory that the organisation, ATAS, runs in Mahdia and, according to Japan’s ambassador to the North African country, Juichi Takahara, will be used to buy raw material.
ATAS president, Khaled Helaoui, said on receiving the gift that the money would play an important role in helping his organisation to operate in a fully commercial capacity. “We aim to fund what we do by selling the goods that we make,” he said. “Since last year, we have received no funding whatsoever from the Tunisian state.”
