Every day, all over the world, USAID brings peace to those who endure violence, health to those who struggle with sickness, and prosperity to those who live in poverty. It is these individuals — these uncounted thousands of lives — that are the true measure of USAID’s successes and the true face of USAID's programs.
July 2016—Halima Sahim, a 22-year-old native of Lamitan City, Basilan, in Mindanao, used to live without much hope for her future. The third of five siblings, she had to stay home to look after her younger brother and sister instead of finishing her education. She dreamt of getting a degree, but her family could not afford to put her through school.
Still, Sahim held onto her belief that poverty should not be a barrier to success. She wanted to prove to her younger siblings and other youth from her community that a brighter future awaits them.

Червень 2016 — Валентина М.* – вісімдесятирічна колишня мешканка селища Семенівка, а тепер переселенка у м. Слов’янськ, хата якої згоріла через обстріли у 2014 році – за допомогою юристів проекту USAID «Права людини в дії» виграла судову справу у держави про компенсацію за житло, зруйноване під час АТО. Це перша в Україні прецедентна справа, яка, як сподіваються юристи, стане прикладом для наслідування для інших громадян, майно яких було пошкоджене або зруйноване внаслідок бойових дій.
