​Boniface, who joined the G50 program in 2019, shares his initial experience with fish farming:

"When the disease attacked our fish, AuxFin quickly responded by sending us the necessary medication. If we had notified them earlier, we might have been able to prevent the loss of the fish. After receiving the fish to start the fish farming, we decided to pool our funds together to buy a tent to protect them. We then organized our work into groups of three during the day and two at night, ensuring constant monitoring of the ponds.

I was very excited, especially since meat was a luxury we could rarely afford. Although there were more women than men, we quickly got to work. Building the ponds was very hard work, but despite my age, I actively participated."
