In Sang, a community in the Mion District of the Northern Region, young women are finding new opportunities to build dignified livelihoods through the Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) Program.

In the quiet farming community of Gudaayiri in the Wa East District of the Upper West Region, a young farmer, Iddrisu Aminu, is redefining what it means to be a changemaker.

For years, Aminu tilled the land—growing soybeans, maize, rice, and yams to sustain his family and support his community. Yet beyond the fields, he carried a vision that reached far past planting and harvesting.

That vision found wings when he joined the Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) Program through the Catholic Relief Services (CRS).

Hamdiya Buyeke joined the Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) Project in 2024 after a community sensitization session in her community in the Sissala West District of the Upper West Region.

She is a resident of Nyentie in the Sissala West District and an active member of a CRS-supported SILC group.
