From Hardship to Hope: Mohamed’s Inspiring Journey Meet Mohamed Manur, a 44-year-old father from Baidao, Bay region of Somalia, whose resilience and determination have transformed his family’s life. Forced to flee his home due to famine and drought, Mohamed and his family faced immense uncertainty. However, through the Ultra-Poor Graduation Program, funded by USAID - Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance, His story took a remarkable turn. With support from multi-purpose cash assistance, training in agriculture, and financial literacy, Mohamed not only rebuilt his livelihood but also created a brighter future for his family: ✅ His goats doubled, and his crops flourished. ✅ He invested in a bajaj (auto-rickshaw), earning $200/month. ✅ 4 of his children are now attending school.   Mohamed’s journey shows how tailored support, like savings groups, training, and productive asset transfers, can break the cycle of extreme poverty and build sustainable livelihoods.   His vision for the future? Expanding his livestock, growing his agricultural ventures, and securing his family's stable, prosperous life.   This is the power of resilience and community-based programs in action! About the project: The Ultra Poor Graduation (UPG) project aims to graduate ultra-poor households from extreme poverty and food insecurity by strengthening food security and quality of life for ultra-poor households, improving financial stability and security, and enhancing the capacity to implement disaster risk management and positive coping strategies to mitigate the immediate effect of exposure to shock. #Resilience #Sustainability #UltraPoorGraduation #ImpactStories #FinancialInclusion #USAID #WorldVision #Baidoa
