![31 May 2019, Mokolo, Cameroon: A group of nursery gardeners, themselves Nigerian refugees, work in a tree nursery in the Minawao camp for Nigerian refugees. Part of a Lutheran World Federation World Service project, the target is to develop more than 100,000 plants in the year of 2019. Planted across 20 so-called 'green spaces', a five-year planting and harvest cycle ensures material to be used as firewood, vines for building of roofs, and a step in alleviating environmental impact in and around Minawao. The Minawao camp for Nigerian refugees, located in the Far North region of Cameroon, hosts some 58,000 refugees from North East Nigeria. The refugees are supported by the Lutheran World Federation, together with a range of partners.

![30 May 2019, Mokolo, Cameroon: Burnt biomass awaits further processing, soon to become charcoal. At the Minawao camp for Nigerian refugees, degradable and non-degradable waste are separated, so that biomass can be burnt in metal containers, processed and finally transformed into charcoal briquettes as a source of recycled energy to be used as firewood for cooking. With the support of an environment monitor from the Lutheran World Federation World Service programme, the full process from waste to charcoal is managed and run by the refugees themselves. The Minawao camp for Nigerian refugees, located in the Far North region of Cameroon, hosts some 58,000 refugees from North East Nigeria. The refugees are supported by the Lutheran World Federation, together with a range of partners.
