Community fish farming project

Our Story

Founded by community members passionate about creating sustainable livelihoods, Dala Fish Project began as a small initiative to address food insecurity and unemployment among youth and women in East Sakwa.

Today, we've grown into a thriving organization that trains, equips, and supports community members to establish and manage their own fish farming operations.

Our approach combines traditional knowledge with modern sustainable practices, creating a model that respects our environment while providing economic opportunities.

Our Impact

Through sustainable fish farming, we've created lasting change in our community. Here's how our work has made a difference:
