💬 "We're very happy to be part of this project! It made a world of difference for us and our community. With the sales and profits, we can now pay our bills and get school supplies for our kids. The support and engagement from our husbands, thanks to the awareness activities, has been so encouraging and motivating." Atija Armindo, originally from Quissanga District, is a member of the women's business group in Saul Displacement Site. Together with her group members, they sell dried fish at the site and in neighbouring communities. 🌟 Through the Women's Participation Project, IOM is supporting women in displacement sites and neighbouring communities to turn their business dreams into reality while creating sustainable livelihoods. In the last quarter of 2023, 1,475 women from 180 groups consisting of IDPs and local community members across six displacement sites in Cabo Delgado and Nampula provinces applied for the programme with their business ideas. From these, 220 women from 25 groups were chosen by their communities to bring their business ideas to life. With training, microgrants, mentorship, and community support, these women are achieving significant sales and profits. They're covering their expenses, providing for their families, and increasing women's participation in their communities. The project also sensitizes husbands and other male family members about the importance of women's involvement in economic activities and societal life. Additionally, the project is inclusive, ensuring people with disabilities are part of the business groups and have a voice. 🌱 With their efforts and enthusiasm, these women are making their dreams come true, while supporting their families and communities in a sustainable way.

Climate disasters drive people to move. Young women and girls are often disproportionally affected by #ClimateChange, and when on the move – more often at risks of violence and, exploitation. As part of the IOM Blog Series: Youth Voices on Migration, Environment and Climate Change, here’s a piece written by Yasmina Benslimane that explores the unique impact of climate change on migration for the youth, women and girls. https://www.iom.int/ZUk

We all play a part in making the lives of migrants safe and dignified. We are on the ground supporting, are you? USA for IOM

"We've come a long way, leaving everything behind. The struggle for sustenance was immense; often, we went to bed hungry, uncertain of what we would eat the next day." 68-year-old Ngamo fled violence in #CaboDelgado twice before finding refuge at Chimoio Relocation Site with her four orphaned grandchildren. In search of safety, Ngamo and her family were forced to leave everything behind, including their cultivation plots and food stocks such as flour, sesame, and other crops. Following displacement, IOM’s Community-Led Projects (CLP) provide communities with the tools to identify their most pressing needs and develop community-based solutions to address them. In this process, Ngamo identified #foodsecurity as a major challenge for her family. Through a CLP, and in collaboration with the District Service for Planning and Infrastructure (SDPI) and the Food Security Cluster in Mozambique, IOM supported her by allocating a farming plot, providing agricultural materials and seeds, and offering training on how to cultivate crops sustainably. "Now, with our own plot, we hope to produce enough to sustain ourselves and sell the surplus crops," Ngamo shares. 🌱 With each seed planted, she moves closer to self-sufficiency and stability for her family. Ngamo's story shows the power of community-based planning and community-led projects, ensuring ownership and sustainability. Her experience highlights the importance of addressing both the immediate and long-term needs of those displaced, ensuring they have the resources and knowledge to rebuild their lives.
