SPARK Niger Given the extreme poverty in Niger and the high vulnerability of women, this project fostered their entrepreneurial skills and self-esteem. This project aimed to empower 75 Nigerian women between 18 and 35 years. The women participated in various training and coaching sessions on thinking about, setting up and running their businesses in, for example, the agricultural sector. It allowed them to be active in the local economy, be self-sufficient, and support themselves and their families. The three regions where the project has been implemented were Niamey, Tahoua, and Maradi for nine months.
