Anye Felicia Neh

Born in 1960, Anye is a widow who was married to Tayim Samuel. She is a hard-working woman with two children to look after. She says being a mother of two is more difficult than being a spinster. The death of her supportive husband left her cold and she has had to start doing some of those things her husband always did with her for her children; she took those things for granted. Challenged by these realities she has doubled her effort towards meeting the needs of their children. This made her join GHAPE.

Given a loan, she plans to expand her business in pig farming. More specifically, she will buy pigs, corn, and dried fish, kernel and cotton cake to fabricate feed. She will fatten the pigs and resell them. The profit from this will be used to pay school fees for her children. Her community stands a chance of benefiting from her activities as she will provide them with necessary manure for farming.
