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.
🔴 Urgent — Needed Now
Fish Feed
Our ponds are stocked and growing. Feed is the immediate bottleneck — without it, progress stops.
KES 4,200 per bag · 6 bags/monthKES 25,200 / month
Gas for Water Pumping
We pump water from Lake Victoria to fill and refresh the ponds. Without fuel, the pumps stop and the fish suffer.
KES 7,000 / monthPond Maintenance
Nets, water management tools, and basic repairs to keep our ponds productive and the fish healthy.
KES 5,000 / month (all ponds)🟢 Ongoing — Help Us Grow
Fingerlings
Young fish to stock new ponds as we expand. A supporter from Germany donated a batch — those fish are growing right now.

Donate on GoFundMe →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.”
