About The Project

The presence of Lake Victoria in the city of Mwanza has become a catalyst for young people to use it to get rid of poverty by setting up various projects. But fish farmers are still very few in Mwanza, an act that sometimes leads to declining fish markets despite the existence of this lake. This project is planned to address these challenges to ensure the residents of Luchelele have a reliable stew at all times. Also, this project will help me earn an income to help support my mother and pay for the younger children's school needs. This project will bring positive results by facilitating the availability of fish for small-scale vendors who come to take fish from my project. The existence of this project will ensure access to fish for women and young people who fry and dry fish for business and thus create employment opportunities for these groups. The chain of beneficiaries will not end there Even those groups who come to buy fish from me have people who depend on them such as their children in school and their parents they help support. This project looks to benefit a lot of people behind it.

Paying it Forward

According to my efforts and love, through this project, if funded, I will also be able to help my fellow girls complete their stalled projects for lack of capital to sustain the income they will earn. I will also help my mother reduce her stress and live positively. The project will also provide employment for assistants and increase their allowances due to an increase in general business income.

Backstory

I’m Mayila, a 41-year-old widow and mother of five children: Jesca, Jeni, Flora, Laurent, and Paskali. I was able to complete my education up to Class 7 but then I ran out of money to pay for the rest of my schooling. My mother is called Pili and has been suffering from high blood pressure since 2015 and thus has failed to fulfill her responsibilities in caring for herself therefore she depends on me. My husband died in 2014 in an accident and that led to me providing for the family so I started a fish-selling project where I bought fish from vendors and sold them by going door to door.

I was helped by the capital and good people who sympathized with our family. I later came up with the idea of setting up a pond to produce the fish productively after the capital grew a little. Despite having little capital, I still could not build a pool myself, so I had to rent a pool from an old man who is a retired soldier. He agreed to give me one of his ponds found on his farm where I could keep the fish fry. Since the beginning of this project, I thank God that I have managed to provide for my family and thus reduce the difficulties of life in my family. The challenge in my project is the lack of capital that will help me fulfill my dream of having my own fish pond in order to avoid the huge cost I incur to rent a pond per month. Facilitating this project will have helped my family to lift themselves out of poverty and lead my younger siblings to fulfill their educational dreams including facilitating the medical treatment of our mother who is also a widow.
