Richard and Cherri initiated work on the first Chiawa community-­‐‑owned fish farm in the pontoon area of Chiawa in December 2009.
​
​The initial clearing of 10 hectares was done by hand by 19 family members of Kupfhuma Ishungu co‑op. Explore Africa Zambia / DIA funded the completion of the project with heavy equipment, digging the ponds, further clearing the fields, providing fencing, installing the pump and other equipment needed for the farm. A secondary project at the fish farm is a small organic produce farm that benefits from the run off water from the fishponds and assists in feeding the fish. There is also a small banana plantation, being successfully harvested at the farm. Approximately 24,000 fish per year can be harvested from the existing 6 ponds. We are pleased to announce that this project is now totally self sufficient which is the goal for all our projects. We are now assisting another fish pond site in a village called Mshongedende. The entire farm is managed fully by locals.
