Aicha: I am confident about the future... I feel at home here.
"I come from Gossi, in the Timbuktu region of Mali. Because of insecurity, I left Gossi for Dibissi (in Déou department, Burkina Faso). From Dibissi, I then had to move again to Gorom Gorom. I am the head of my household, and when
I arrived in Gorom, my family experienced many problems related to shelter and food. Through support from another organisation, I was able to have two shelters for my household. However, I still was not able to provide for myself and my family.
I was targeted by DRC following a community targeting process. I was able to exchange with DRC teams about my situation and my needs. As a result, I received a training in small business management, sheep to start my livestock activities, and food assistance. My two daughters have also benefited from schooling support from DRC.
This situation has put a smile back on my face. Now, I know that once I have fattened up my animals, I will be able to sell them and buy more to start a new cycle and generate more income. I am confident about the future because this shelter and this business make me feel at home."
