Project Officer Jonathan Pace and Local Representative Evelyn Kahembe have been overseeing our support for a fishing group in Mwamgongo, a village of approximately 15,000 people situated on the shores of Lake Tanganyika.

Thanks to boats and nets, the group has able to generate income that is then used for further profitable activities, such as purchasing a sewing machine and digging a farm.

We are pleased to have approved an extension to the project so the group can purchase new fishing nets and a larger boat to increase their catch.

Evelyn will shortly be visiting the group to ensure that they are meeting the required business and accounting conditions, after which we hope to release the funding to allow this group to grow even more
