 | | The WFP programme assistant with whom she spoke, Neiaz Ibrahim, was in Taragan village that day interviewing participants for an agency-sponsored, income-generation project in Suleimaniyeh Governorate and Khayal, 42, was the perfect candidate: she had no regular income, she was a widow, and she was the sole provider for her two children. |
 | | For the first time in her life, Khayal was in business, thanks to WFP, which paid for the beehives, training, equipment and technical support to the Kurdistan Women's Union, the agency's local implementing partner. |
