SUSTAINA is a community based organization (CBO) in Adagom 3 refugee settlement in Ogoja, Cross River State Nigeria. Our mission is to help refugees develop capacity for a sustainable livelihood while equally ensuring that the environment which constitutes habitat for refugees is well protected. Our objectives besides others are; - to organize entrepreneurial workshops to train refugees on business formation, running a business and to scale a business. - organize leadership development training for refugees and the host. - train refugees in ICT so as to enable them position themselves in our rapidly changing tech space. - provide access to educational materials for refugees and the host communities students as a way to guarantee quality education. - carry out environmental awareness campaigns - Educate refugees on sustainable agricultural practices. To achieve these goals, we have setup an ICT training center in Adagom 3 refugee settlement where refugees are equipped with the needed skills in IT, and also a library that gives refugees access to quality learning materials. We have equally setup a piggery farm where we train refugees on livestock keeping and empowering them to be independent livestock Farmers. Being a semi-arid region, and the pressure mounted on trees by the refugees who use it as the only source of energy for cooking and also as timber for construction, with an estimated daily cutting of over 15 trees. As a way of maintaining a balnce in the ecosystem and combat green house has effect, we have embarked on a mission to plant 3000 trees within the refugee host communities.
