Fatuma from #Mandera is one of many who benefitted from the project. She never wanted to graze animals like her peers, so when the opportunity presented itself, she challenged herself and took up tailoring and dress-making — breaking the norm and now running her own business. https://t.co/WbyYH27jF1

Hunger is one of the most undignified sufferings of humanity. To alleviate human suffering, we must rise to this challenge through collective mobilisation and action. #Food_Security, #Climate_Change & #Migration were central to @sahel_plus meeting hosted by @AlgerianRed https://t.co/g93EJAoSx7
