“My dream is to see my children succeed in their studies.” Ramatou, Dotche Malam, Niger
Ramatou lives in the village of Dotché Malam, Niger. She told us a lack of resources in her village was making it difficult for families to support themselves, saying, “We faced deadly challenges, we could not meet our daily food needs.”
With the help of money from an Oxfam project, Ramatou bought goats, sheep and guinea fowl to begin breeding her own animals. She’s also started a small business selling doughnuts and mangoes.
Now, she’s supporting her elderly parents with her business and can buy school books and supplies for her daughters.
