Mrs. Victoria Igboanugo Representative from International Food and Agricultural Development (IFAD) Project Imo State. Received the WAFA Award Certificate from Mr. Hanan Lassen Zakaria. People and Planet life Foundation (PPLF) Rural Nigeria, near the urban centers of Enugu, Port Harcourt, Abuja, Lagos. A big shout out to The People and Planet Life Foundation Team and their beneficiaries for winning the WAF Award 2018 under the Food category.   In this area, large families are common, often headed only by women who receive no external help. Before “The Fish Farm Project”, their main source of income was subsistence agriculture.  PPLF has shifted the local economy from subsistence agriculture to aquaculture in particular fish farming. The organization educates local women to run this business independently and profitably. Over 600 women have been trained, and 345 have established their own fish farms. In many cases, their household income has increased by 60%. Of these 345 women, 231 have scaled up their endeavors by establishing additional aquaculture businesses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbnLDb6XXgw&feature=youtu.be
