Yangambi Engagement Landscape

Yenga Hélène, 35 years, married and with 5 kids, sells bushmeat at the market of Yangambi. With the support of the project, Yenga will start breeding pigs. "Selling bushmeat is not a full time work and benefits are low. I have had pigs (free) in the past and made enough money from them as to pay for my kids' school and buy many things".
