TIKA livestock for women terror victims
The Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA) has provided small animal support to
women who lost their spouses in the terrorist attacks in Tchintabaraden, Tahoua, Niger.TİKA carried out the project
following Tchintabaraden's call for help to rehabilitate and reintegrate the
victim groups into society and provided 450 dairy goats to 150 widowed women
from 5 villages who were victims of terrorism.
As part of the support, a total
of 7,250 kg of animal feed and parasitic drugs were also distributed (50 kg for
each family).
Women came together at the
delivery ceremony and expressed their gratitude to the State of the Republic of
Turkey and the Turkish people through TİKA.
Speaking at the ceremony,
Tchindabaraden Deputy Mayor Abdousalam Birkili thanked TİKA for standing by,
helping, and curing the wounds of widows who were victims of terrorism.
At the ceremony, referring to the
important projects carried out in Niger so far, TİKA Niamey Coordination
Assistant Amadou Amadou wished that this initiative, which was started by TİKA
with 450 goats, will turn into a production network where thousands of small
cattle are raised, and hundreds of women are employed.
Amadou also said that holding the
title of "the most generous country" in the world in the field of
emergency and humanitarian aid, Turkey will continue to help the needy, victims
of violence, refugees, disaster survivors, the disabled and all other
disadvantaged groups all around the world, regardless of their nationality,
religion, or denomination.
The project aims to contribute to
the regional economy by producing high-quality meat and dairy products for
widowed women who are victims of terrorism, who came together under the OURZP
Association and ACHET AKAL cooperative.
TİKA, which has been existing in
the country since 2013, has undertaken many important projects such as Niger
Turkish Friendship Hospital, Niger-Turkish Friendship Park, Niger-Turkish
Friendship School, chicken and fish production farms, agricultural irrigation
systems, medical operations, and vocational training.
