Zambia: Refugees receive the skills to be self-sufficient

Three days each week a group of refugees, including men, women and older children, gather in a classroom in Meheba to learn ways to improve their agriculture and small businesses. With most refugees who wanted to repatriate now gone home to Angola, UNHCR and the Zambian government are working – through programmes such as the formation of agricultural cooperatives and a micro-credit scheme – to ensure that remaining refugees are gaining the knowledge and skills to become self-sufficient.
