Harouna Yahaya, a farmer from the village of Tchamro (Guidan Roumdji, Niger), lived in extreme poverty, unable to feed his family due to land degradation and the invasion of harmful plants. Thanks to the Maradi Integrated Resilience Project (MIRP), funded by WFP and implemented by World Vision, he participated in land restoration activities and received a monthly income. With his savings, he invested in agriculture and livestock farming, harvested 40 bags of peanuts, bought a motorcycle, and sustainably improved his family's living conditions. Today, Harouna is an example of resilience and calls on his peers to seize opportunities to escape poverty.

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.

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.
