Fish Farm Program
Fish farming is an effective low cost way of supplementing food shortfalls during the dry season, and a popular way of turning a profit the rest of the year.
On 8 July 2006, The Sras Village Agriculture Committee selected three villagers to begin developing a sustainable fish farming program.
The Trailblazer Foundation assisted, donating funds for the initial stock [450 fingerlings] and helping to organize and implement a sustainable program and provide instruction in sustainable fish farming techniques and maintenance.
