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.

Africa’s climate future depends on communities, not boardrooms and without their leadership, even billions in pledges will not be enough.

World Vision continues to advocate for climate resilience strategies that prioritise children and communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

In the commune of Dogo (Zinder region, Niger), World Vision Niger is leading an environmental campaign by actively involving children. They participate in ecological training, the planting of nearly 1,000 trees, sanitation campaigns, and advocacy efforts with authorities. Their commitment was highlighted during National Tree Day, in the presence of the country's senior officials. This initiative demonstrates that children can be key agents of change for a greener future.
