One of the strongest faiths of the African people is reincarnation. The word reincarnate also implies a constant cycle of lie. Therefore infertility is considered a detrimental curse, as it stops the cycle of birth
To ensure healthy pregnancy, birth, and life, the Senufo people employ spiritual aids of mothers and children. The Senufo people of northern Ivory Coast, believe the greatest role of a woman is to becoe pregnant, give birth and raise the children. Thus this figure is made to ensure the prosperity of the cycle of life
