Yacouba Moussa, a father of 14 children in Kouloumboutaye (Maradi), was forced to migrate every year due to poverty and food insecurity. In 2019, his life changed thanks to the Maradi Integrated Resilience Project (MIRP), funded by WFP and implemented by World Vision. Thanks to stable employment on land restoration sites, he was able to stay in the village, provide for his family, and invest in agriculture and livestock farming. Today, he lives with dignity in his own home and no longer feels the need to leave. His story illustrates the positive impact of a well-targeted project on community resilience.

Maman Issoufou, a father of 13 living in Bouloun Kourou (Maradi region, Niger), saw his life transformed thanks to the Maradi Integrated Resilience Project (MIRP), funded by WFP and implemented by World Vision. Faced with advanced land degradation, water shortages, and food insecurity, he had to sell his land to feed his family. In 2019, the project restored his abandoned 8 hectares, providing him with income through "Food for Assets" activities, nutritional supplements for his children, and a solar-powered borehole for drinking water. Today, he is a model of resilience, no longer selling his land, investing in agriculture, and aspires to develop a market garden to further improve his family's nutrition.

Seraphine and Fulgence, a couple from Nyamasheke near Lake Kivu, endured over 21 years of poverty and hopelessness, raising six children with limited resources and a negative mindset. Their lives began to change two years ago when they joined World Vision’s Empowered Worldview (EWV) training—a faith-based program focused on mindset transformation and self-belief. Through the training, they realized their potential and received a $90 startup capital. With it, they rented land and began growing sugarcane. Their first harvest earned them $210, and they expect about $420 from their second. This new income allows them to provide for their children’s needs, strengthen their marriage, and dream about the future.

Les inondations de 2024 au Niger ont touché plus de 1,4 million de personnes, causant 391 décès et détruisant 152.232 maisons, 2.477 salles de classe, ainsi que des milliers d’hectares de cultures. Ces dégâts ont provoqué une crise humanitaire majeure et des pertes économiques considérables. En réponse, World Vision a d’abord distribué des kits d’urgence (couvertures, ustensiles, moustiquaires, etc.), puis lancé une assistance en cash pour 1.800 ménages sinistrés dans les régions de Maradi et Zinder, avec une aide de 40.000 FCFA par ménage. Cette aide a permis aux bénéficiaires de répondre à leurs besoins immédiats : nourriture, vêtements, reconstruction de maisons. Les témoignages de Fatouma et Ibrahim illustrent l’impact positif de cette initiative sur la résilience des familles touchées.
