i once again want to thank everyone that's been kind enough to share their story with me. i've got so many, it's hard to figure out how to share them all in a timely fashion, but for now i'm sticking with four per week with a new WIFL every friday. as the kids say, please like, share, and subscribe.
Thank you for sharing these stories. One of the last initiatives I worked on at USAID was collecting what we called "impact stories" from every single mission in the Africa bureau so that we could share them with Congress and others. I deeply regret not saving a copy for myself now to share.
What I do recall were stories about reducing child malnutrition in Niger through multivitamin distribution, helping build community resilience in areas recently freed from al Shabaab in Somalia to help prevent political backsliding, training rangers in Botswana to combat poaching in national parks
Harnessing youth organizing in Senegal through alumni of the Young African Leaders Initiative to rebuild schools before the new school year started after civil unrest, connecting Zambian farmers with drought-resistant seeds and quality fertilizer through the Feed the Future Accelerator
