Rusinga Island, Kenya

Every donation feeds a family.
Every big gift changes a community.

We are a small community-based organisation on the shores of Lake Victoria. The ponds are ready. The team is committed. Right now, we need fish feed — and for those who want to go further, the opportunity to be part of something truly life-changing.

What We Need Right Now

These are our immediate, practical needs. Small amounts make a direct, visible difference.

Fish Feed

Our ponds are stocked and growing. Feed is the immediate bottleneck — without it, progress stops.

A Donation Already Making Waves

“When John, a long-term supporter from Germany, heard about our current fish shortage, he donated a batch of fingerlings — young tilapia and catfish that are now growing in our ponds on Rusinga Island. In a few months, those fish will be harvested, eaten and sold, and the income will go directly back into the community. Growing the fish also contributes fertilizer for the vegetable farm we have close to the ponds. That creates more food and jobs for the community.”

— Victoria Community Project team, Rusinga Island, 2025

For Those Who Want to Go Further

The fish farming project is not just about fish. It is about a community taking control of its own future — creating jobs, feeding families, training young people, and demonstrating that Lake Victoria’s resources can be managed sustainably for generations to come.

60% Already pre-sold — market demand is proven
