More than 6 million people in Niger do not have enough to eat this year, but villages that received Mercy Corps training and initial seeds to build community gardens are faring much better than other villages in the region. They have a wide variety of produce they can use to feed their families, as well as excess to sell in the local markets. More widespread assistance is still desperately needed, but it is equally important to continue work on solutions like this that have a lasting impact.
