Germany Provides Urgent Nutrition Support to Pregnant Women and Children in Displacement Sites in Collaboration with World Vision Cambodia

Our mission is Labarik saudavel no foin-sa’e empoderadu ba komunidade forte - Healthy children and empowered youth for strong communities.

Dans le village d’Angoual Gao, Aichatou Sahidou, mère de six enfants, faisait face à une malnutrition sévère qui affectait ses enfants. Grâce au projet « Amélioration de la Nutrition et de la Sécurité Alimentaire » mis en œuvre par World Vision, un centre de nutrition a été installé, permettant aux mères d’apprendre à préparer des repas équilibrés. Les résultats sont visibles : les enfants sont en meilleure santé, les familles ont reçu des chèvres pour produire du lait, et les femmes ont été formées à l’épargne et à la gestion de petites entreprises.

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.

Ahmed and Dua's struggling family felt transformed from the Celebrating Families project, which strengthens family bonds and teaches inclusive parenting.

Food hygiene is critical to health, with 600 million people falling ill annually due to contaminated food. Children under five bear 40% of the burden, with 125,000 deaths each year.
