5 years ago (~ 2015) the fishing village received attention from the World Bank which committed to financing a storage facility and freezer. What eventually happened was that the funding was turned over to a contractor that only finished the building then ran off with the funds for the freezers and other items. Now the villagers are each investing into the initiative to finish the project. They have collectively saved $4500 in the last 3 years. This resident driven project will improve the lives of over 200 families, will double their income by selling more fish (because of the freezer) and provide electricity/water to most of the village.
Invest in Self-help efforts rather than to programs. All donations here go entirely to the residents for the efforts they are leading. You can designate if you want your donation to go to projects in a particular African country, or to a specific type of project such as solar or water, etc. Look at the projects listed on this Mutuality Platform and invest directly to an individual venture or a broader collective project. New projects and countries will continue to be added.
