Fisheries Project for Livelihood Development
Fisheries Project for Livelihood Development
The people living in coastal area were the seriously affected community by the Tsunami disaster on 26th of December 2004. It is about 60% of them subjected to fisheries. Their one and only source of living was destroyed. Their Land, resident and properties were destroyed and also some of valuable lives of family members. Despite all of these, the loss of their source of income and insistence of lives were directed to raise a numerous issue on break downing their mentality. Having observed all those issues that fishermen faced, British High Commission and HELP‐O started a process to assist fisheries to enhance their development.
- Bicycles Donation
The fish sellers affected due to tsunami had no way to start their business. Therefore, we decided to distribute 100 bicycles with tools and fish selling box.
