Iwas an Overseas Filipino Worker for years before I decided to move back to the country two years ago. My intention was to stay in this rural area for good even if I had no clue how I would manage to live off it.

Through ADRA’s fish farming training in Mercedes I found the answer. The skills and knowledge I’ve learned are very beneficial for someone like me who wants to become self-supportive and succeed in my land. (Ernesto, 45)
