Support through home visits

A small activity, equipment that needs follow-up, a journey to arrange: support starts with understanding daily life at home.

Understand the setting

During home visits in 2026, people discussed their household circumstances and the support they had received. Parents and other relatives took part in some conversations. The visits gave the team a closer view of the obstacles people faced in daily life.

Practical help, close to home

The accounts include startup support for small activities, follow-up on assistive equipment and assistance with transport. A February visit records 25,000 FCFA in startup capital for a poultry activity. The team also discussed how support could be used and which difficulties needed further attention.

Keep the conversation open

Equipment and startup money can help, but the visits also recorded difficulties that needed attention. Talking again with a household helps the team understand how an activity or an item of equipment fits into everyday life and discuss further support.
