Kiniero, Guinea, 30th April 2015: Carpentry business making beds and furniture.
Kiniero, Guinea, 30th April 2015: This village and the surrounding area will be flooded by the Fomi Dam. Lansana Sylla, 40 years old, in a baseball cap, is married with 2 wives and father of 3 children. “I’ve been working in my shop for 10 years. I studied in the carpentry school in Conakry for 3 years. Here in the village the beds and wardrobes are not so expensive, these beds cost from to The wardrobe costs but if I sold it in the capital, the price would be double. The Fomi damn construction will help me because of the electricity it will generate, even if I have to move to a different area. I’ll use Fomi electricity to power my workshop and earn more money in less time…I’m happy hearing about the dam construction because indemnity or compensation will be paid and that will help me to have a very good and easy beginning.”
