After the reunification she still faced challenges resulting from livelihood disruption and lack of basic needs, but she strongly believed that she could find a way to provide for the daily needs of her children. Lucky enough Nyapch was among the vulnerable families who were screened and selected to get support from WOCO to start a small Income Generating Activity. She received training, materials and capital to start her business. Now, Nyapch has a small shop where she is selling tea in the market and she is baking bread that she sells to NGOs in Aburoc. She is able to generate income to provide the basic needs of her children. From this business she has managed to purchase two cows (rear) to support her livelihood and sustain her business.
