Cheng's Fish Farming

We visited Cheng in her village. She is working hard to establish a source of income for the local fish farmers through establishing fish ponds. If done correctly it can help provide the financial income, provide protein consistently in their families meals. We shared a meal in her nsaka, her living room.

The hike thru the bush. Never seen grass this tall before.

There is a science to building a fish pond, it has to be sloped to a certain angle, have a inlet and outlet water source. Everyday the fish farmer must feed it compost, manure. The fish learn to recognize you that you are feeding it. All you do is tap your foot in the same place everyday at the same time.

Thanks Cheng! We enjoyed seeing your work.
