Faiza Hassane, 15, lives in Guilladjé, Niger. Coming from a very poor family, she recounts the difficulties she experienced before World Vision arrived: food insecurity, lack of healthcare, school supplies, and her mother Zeinabou's economic dependence. The introduction of community savings groups was a turning point. Zeinabou, who became president of the "Wafakey 4" group, received training in cassava processing and a loan of 10,000 CFA francs. Thanks to her hard work, she launched a business processing cassava into gari, tapioca, and gum, reinforced by a modern kit donated by World Vision. Today, she is self-sufficient, trains other women, and participates in fairs. Faiza expresses her pride and gratitude to World Vision for giving her family hope.
