How it works

  1. Illustration of a woman in a patterned dress standing beside a market counter with a green and gold awning, holding folded fabric

    She opens her cantine

    It costs nothing. She puts up to 10 articles on her counter: cloth, jars, bottles, beads.

  2. Illustration of a long row of market cantines with coloured awnings and people walking between them

    It joins the market

    Her cantine stays, permanent, among 1000 others, under one name: Touba Sandaga.

  3. Illustration of a man in a green shirt holding a phone with a chat bubble, next to a small table with a folded cloth and a perfume bottle

    Buyers write to her

    They choose, then order straight to her WhatsApp.
