Making ends meet is a major challenge for refugees. A UNHCR-supported fish farm gives new hope.
UNHCR Nigeria
Description
Winifred is one of 44 Cameroonian refugees and four Nigerian neighbours who have been working for months to see the fruits of their endeavour. Winifred had to feed the catfish for months and be patient. Finally, she can put food on the table after selling her first fish in Nigeria. “I am so happy. This is the first time I am selling fish from the farm”, says Winifred Ayah, 26-year-old mother of two. Her clients sent her into the fishpond several times to catch the biggest catfish she could get. Winifred sold the fish at 1,200 Naira (some 3 USD) per kilo, an income she needed to make ends meet.
