One of the objectives of Programa Tatô is the generation of alternative livelihoods for the coastal communities involved in the capture and commercialization of sea turtles. The Palaiês (traders) of the São Tomé Market who depended essentially on the trade of sea turtle meat and eggs decided to abandon this illegal practice and with the help of Programa Tatô created in 2016 the association "We Want to Have a Future with Destiny". These women have now changed their activity and have invested in the production of original handicrafts made from recycled materials and African fabrics.
