Words From our Beneficiaries

Testominials

“Since I was selected as one of the beneficiaries of this fisheries project, my life and that of my family has tremendously improved. With the monthly cash I have been receiving, I have bought appropriate fishing tools that have enhanced my source of livelihood.”
Warsame Ismaciil Axmed
Berbera, Somaliland
“I was practicing Nomadic pastoralism before this livestock project intervention. Almost all of my animals died due to prolonged drought & water scarcity. After the intervention, my animals’ health improved due to the supplement feeding because of using range cubes that I received.”
Maryan Cilm Muuse
Tuulo Barwaaqo, Somaliland
“Prior to the intervention, I had lost most of my livestock to diseases which was our only source of livelihood. My family was left in a crumbling state. However, since the beginning of the project, we have received livestock inputs, nutrition training and cash interventions. We are so grateful.”
