Background
Limited access to premix fuel forces many fishermen to stay ashore for most of the month, leading to financial hardship and reduced livelihoods. Additionally, the lack of alternative income skills and a savings culture worsens their economic situation.
Our initiative focuses on providing consistent fuel supply, establishing repair and maintenance services for outboard motors, promoting savings, and offering alternative livelihood training to ensure economic resilience.
We are executing this project through key strategies, including capacity building, reliable fuel access, motor servicing, cold storage facilities, and financial literacy programs to foster long-term sustainability.
We expect increased fishing times, higher incomes, reduced motor breakdowns, and the adoption of savings practices. Our goal is to foster economic growth, skill development, and improved community well-being.
Key Achievements That Set the Foundation for Future GrowthSince our inception, Fishermans Wharf of Ghana, LBG has made significant progress. We’ve established a fully functional office equipped for training and workshops, acquired a 2.29-acre site for project operations, completed design drawings for our facilities, and purchased an industrial ice machine for fish preservation. These milestones mark the beginning of sustainable transformation for the fishing communities of Shama.
