Torodi, in Niger’s Tillabéri region, faces persistent insecurity, armed attacks, and forced displacement, severely affecting children through disrupted schooling, psychological stress, and lack of safe spaces. To support them, World Vision Niger’s project “Integrated Emergency & Recovery Assistance to Conflict-Affected Populations” established the “Child-Friendly Space” in Torodi, providing a safe, inclusive, and stimulating environment. Children like 14-year-old Ousmane and 10-year-old Sadiya rediscover joy, play diverse games, and interact with peers from different neighborhoods, including displaced children. The center also promotes learning, social cohesion, and awareness. Monitors, trained by World Vision in child management, mental health, first aid, and game facilitation, supervise small groups and ensure regular participation of over 300 children. The “Friends of Children” space has become an emotional and social refuge, helping children cope with insecurity, rebuild psychologically, develop social skills, and reclaim aspects of their childhood. Through this initiative, World Vision fosters hope, resilience, and solidarity, giving children in Torodi a safe place to play, learn, and grow despite ongoing challenges.
