Fish Farming Programme
Helping people earn an income from fish farming in small ‘back-yard’ ponds
About the programme
In 2023 we launched a fish farming pilot programme at our Sundia location near Kolkata, West Bengal. We are working with a group of 200 people who have access to small back-yard ponds, providing them with the tools and training to make the ponds sustainable and productive for fish farming so they can earn a decent income, with dignity. In 2024, we launched the programme in our Kolaghat location with 50 women.
The toolkit includes:
- Pond clearing/cleaning
- Fish seed (fertilized eggs)
- Pond preparation materials
- Disinfectant/water purification
- Pond manure
- Fish feed
- Antibiotics/vitamins
- Ongoing training
