Leading with Care: How Women Around the World are Inspiring Businesses, Empowering Communities, and Creating Opportunity

CAPITALIZING ON OPPORTUNITY IN NIGER

Although CARE has helped millions of women around the globe, I was particularly impressed by the story of a woman from Niger who capitalized on a similar opportunity and was able to turn pennies a day into a thriving business that created a sustainable future for herself, while also providing jobs for her fellow villagers. This opportunity, as well as her response to it, has enabled Fourera Soumana, for the first time in her life, to experience a sense of economic freedom and personal fulfillment. Her story carries lessons for all of us.
