Betty Higgins owns a trout farm and lodge at the base of picturesque and remote Mt Wilhelm in Papua New Guinea. She sells trout to hotels across the country.
Her family offers treks up Mt Wilhelm, and visitors stay at her lodge.
Higgins is well-known and respected across PNG and while her story is one of success, it is also one of many struggles and her strength and resilience in the face of struggles.
She is deeply driven by contributing to the development of Papua New Guinea and by inspiring other women – especially young women.
