In the commune of Badaguichiri, many young people face unemployment, limited access to training, and a lack of guidance, making it difficult to build a stable future despite their willingness to contribute to community development. To address these challenges, World Vision introduced the “Enhanced Perception of the World” training program, designed to help young people better understand their environment, responsibilities, and personal potential. One of the participants, Laouali Abdoulrazikou, a 28-year-old community leader, experienced a profound transformation through this initiative. Before the training, he struggled with self-doubt and uncertainty about his role and future.
