Rebuilding the Future of a Family Returned from Cabo Verde

By Sonia Agnesod | Planning, Coordination and compliance

In this update we are delighted to share the story of a family's transformation, made possible by your generous support. 

A mother of four faced immense challenges as the sole provider for her family. Originally from São Tomé and Príncipe, she and her 19-year-old daughter longed to return home to reunite with her two children and care for her ill mother. However, her younger children, a 6-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old grandson, were born in Cabo Verde, and she lacked the resources to make the journey. 

Thanks to the Global Assistance Fund (GAF) and IOM's coordination, the family received essential support, including food, travel necessities, and financial aid for transit expenses. GAF covered their air tickets, ensuring a safe and dignified return home. 

Beyond their return, GAF helped the family establish a small business, providing the supplies needed to achieve financial independence and long-term stability. 

Your support has reunited this family and given them the chance to build a better future. We are deeply grateful for your generosity.
