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.

Joseph and Ephrasie, a couple from Nyamasheke near Nyungwe National Park in Rwanda, have transformed their lives from extreme poverty to stability and hope. After years of hardship, eating once a day and working on others’ farms, they received support from World Vision through the Hinduka Wigire (Ultra-Poor Graduation) program. This included mindset training and a $95 start-up capital. Joseph took the training seriously, stopped tending others’ cows, and began raising his own. Their lives improved significantly: they now earn about $110 monthly from milk and organic fertilizer, can feed their children well, and support their education and health. Their marriage also grew stronger, and they now live with mutual respect, love, and shared Christian values.
