Butere fish farmers are very well organized we are still continuing with digging and expanding each others ponds since Susan left Kenya.  While Susan was here we dug and expanded two fish ponds, and now we are working on our eighth.  The group is doing well and with proceeds and the micro-loans provided they have bought three cows for the group.  The aim of this project is that the group is looking t many different ways on how it can generate funds for themselves. When these three cows grow big they will sell them at a higher price and buy another small one. The money they get it can help them in buying something that they lack; nets, fish feed etc.  So far the group has helped each in digging and expanding the ponds of Hesbon, Abraham, mama Tabitha, John Luvanga, Esau, Abel, and Boniface and next week we shall be at James Mwinjiros place cleaning up his fish pond.  The group is moving forward.  In the next few months they should be able to supply fish in Kakamega town because there is shortage of fish at the market right now.  Hussein Wechuli.
