Still remember her?

Nafissa that we mentioned in previous section!

What had happened to her next?

​

She decided to flee when she became pregnant for the second time. 

​

"I was two months pregnant at the time. A friend of the family let me live with her. That’s also where I gave birth to my son. When he was five months old, I took him to my grandmother in Niamey. That’s where I heard about the aid program. The staff taught me for a whole year. They built up my confidence and I learned to read and write better."
