About The Project

$1000 needed to expand and purchase fishing equipment
$45 invested by himself towards business

Emmanuel is a fisherman by trade. Fish is a staple in the Liberian diet. With your investment he will be able to improve his business. Some of the catch of the day is sold off to vendors who then dry the fish then sells openly in the market. With your investment he will purchase more fishing equipment, fishing nets, a better boat and possibly a freezer so his fish will not perish. He dreams of one day catching in magnitude so he can sell to restaurants, supermarkets and stores

Emmanuel is a driven business man who wants to create more job opportunities for his fishing village, his aim is "to increase employment opportunities for others". 


Paying it Forward

Emmanuel paid it forward by giving $5 US to his neighbor to help his business. He has also helped 4 other people with their businesses, for example selling fish, and other items.  Emmanuel is part of a fishing village where everyone helps each other and is committed to paying your investment forward by helping others.
