Across Hudaydah, women are leading efforts to strengthen their communities despite years of conflict. This collection of stories brings forward the voices of women who transformed hardship into opportunity through coaching, vocational training, and small business grants. UNMHA’s Quick Impact Projects (QIPs) provided the support that helped many of these initiatives take shape, but the drive and ingenuity came from the women themselves.The stories highlight the journeys of landmine survivors regaining confidence, displaced women rebuilding their livelihoods, and partner staff who overcame personal challenges to continue serving others. They also reflect the vital role of UNMHA’s implementing partners, whose dedication in the field ensures that support reaches those who need it most.Together, these narratives demonstrate how QIPs help strengthen community resilience and advance both the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) and Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) agendas by amplifying local voices and creating pathways for stability and empowerment.Read the full compilation below to explore these inspiring stories from the field women_-_qips_-_stories_-_english.pdf
