Building Capacity of Women's Group for the Rehabilitation and Sustainable Management of Natural Resources
Ban (village) Laem Makham is situated in Sikao District , Trang Province. There are 120 families in the village who earn their livings by small-scale fishery using simple fishing equipment. In order to increase income for the community, the women?s group had launched and activity which turns fishes of low economical value into food product such as dried fish, salted fish, fermented shrimp etc.
In the process of turning fishes of low economical value into food product, heat from sunlight and fire-woods are required. However, heat from these two sources have some limitation i.e. the sunlight is not always in abundance (the southern region of Thailand is known as the land of ? eight rainy months and 4 sunny?), while fire-woods have become scarce to obtain. It has been estimated that 20-30 sticks of fire-woods (10 cm. dia and 1 m.long) were required to heat 10 kg. of fishes.
In order to cope with the limitation, the women?s group has initiated to increase the efficiency
