Abstract

The women of Katosi fishing on the Lake Victoria had very high hopes of venturing into the fish processing industry one day after an insight from one of the potential donors. While we were still excited by the idea and planning for the same, there was a ban on fishing in Uganda due the use of poison in the fishing industry. The poisoned fish was causing illness among the consumers and some deaths were reported. The poison was also killing all the other living things in the water. The activity had to be put to a standstill to stop the use of poison and net the culprits.
