To T:DYK/P4

... that more young girls in Hamdallaye in Niger could go to school after a local councillor arranged to buy 8 grinding machines? Source: One such need was grinding machines for pounding millet and maize. Household chores such as these have traditionally been done by young girls, often preventing them from attending school.

Nice facts from a little-known place, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. The image is rather mysterious in this size, and for IWD, we probably want to show a woman or two, not boys. If you'd prefer a different day with image, please find a way to include (pictured) in the hook. - Prep builders, please consider for 8 March. - In the article, the hay truck is at present not connected to the content, and the image "sandwiches" the text, - what could you do about that? I think the settlements in 2015 shouldn't be present tense. Do we know anything about history? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:00, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, @Gerda Arendt: I have had a go at the points you raise. Thanks for the tick. March 9th would be fine. Victuallers (talk) 11:27, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
