Women involved in processing fishery products in Muleba District, Kagera Region, have expressed their gratitude to the Environmental Management and Economic Development Organisation (EMEDO) and WorldFish for providing modern tools for drying sardines, significantly boosting their income. During a recent training session for businesswomen, Jovitha Chrysostom, one of the participants, shared how her group once dried ten buckets of sardines on old mats, working in shifts. With the introduction of new drying nets, thanks to the partnership with EMEDO, a Mwanza-based organization, they can now process up to 30 buckets of sardines per day.
