world vision contributed the money to buy the materials to build the first tank and with help from other organizations supplied the money to build additional tanks (1.8 metres deep) and for fish fry and food to get this community set up with a fish farm. it's a 15 man coop and everyone pitches in and they get fresh fish. wv provided the business and marketing practices and training so everyone involved in the coop can earn income as well. wv provides materials and training and the people in the community supply the labour.
it had started as an irrigation project for a vegetable garden but it was too hard to get the water from the tank to the garden so they gave up the garden and started raising tilapia.
