S.O.U.L. Foundation is partnering with the women of Uganda to create Tilapia Fish Ponds in the village of Malindi. The eleven members from our previous group have excelled in Fish Farming and will be the teachers for the new village project. $8,000 will be loaned to the women of Malindi Village. The funds account for the tools, the fish, fish food, professional guidance from the Fisheries Office, fishing nets, scales, medicine, etc. By contributing to this project, the women benefit in numerous ways:
-
they gain new skills and knowledge
-
they increase food security for their families
-
they are exposed to business opportunities
-
they learn responsibility and take pride in their ability to pay back their loans
-
they are empowered through the profits earned
The Yoga Sanctuary is sponsoring one of these fish ponds and is committed to helping raise $8,000 through special events, classes, individual contributions and the sale of hand-made products by the women of Uganda. Click on the YouTube link below to see photos of this exciting project.
