Empower Kumwalo village with aquaculture (fish farming)

The people of Kumwalo village traditionally earned a living by fishing, but since 2017, the Ugandan government has required those fishing Lake Victoria to purchase a more expensive type of net, which is beyond the means of most.  Although they were forced to give up fishing, they are eager to use their skills and earn a living by doing aquaculture, raising mesh cages of young fish which will be immersed in their inlet of Lake Victoria, one called Wanyange-Kumwalo.  Aquaculture is proving to be very much in demand and profitable in Uganda.  The initial $904 of this project will purchase one cage full of 5,000 young tilapia, which are fed for nine months at a total cost of $640.  The sale of the mature fish (and successive generations of the tilapia) will provide a sustainable income to all of the families involved, requiring little more than the purchase of additional food for the growing fish.  The goal of this venture is to stabilize the Kumwalo community and allow them to send an increasing number of their children to the local schools.
