Sadi Alhassan, a 60-year-old widow displaced from Torodi, overcame her challenges through her involvement in a savings group supported by World Vision Niger. Trained to make soap, couscous, and sesame oil, she turned her skills into a source of income for her family. Her group of 25 women generated 200,000 CFA francs, enabling microcredit and solidarity donations. Sadi was able to send her daughters to school and improve her household hygiene. Her journey embodies the power of female empowerment through solidarity and training.

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.
