Sagana Fish Farming Project
This project is intended to protect the forest resources of Mt. Kenya by changing the lifestyle of women groups and their families and to provide them with an alternative source of income and protein. For that purpose the Sagana Fish and Bee Keeping Women Self Help Group will:
- Construct eight fish ponds, each of them holding an average of 3,000 fingerlings
- Expand the existing tree nurseries and encourage members to raise indigenous tree seedlings in their own nurseries
- Construct a five strand solar powered electric fence to boost protection from intruders and wild animals
- Construct a 170 meter long stone wall tunnel for water provision
- Construct eight fish ponds, each of them holding an average of 3,000 fingerlings
