Titus Kuman leads fish
farm project
2 October 2006
Titus
Kuman is leading
a group of youths in Kolgpeng village, Papua New
Guinea, to construct a fish farm and sell the
produce to the local communities. The youths have
formed a group called 'Kum Youth Focus'
in order to develop this project and others in
the future.
According to Titus
the main aim of this project is to, "solve
the problem of unemployment among youths and other
issues affecting communities. The aim of this
project is to give a chance to these youths to
realize the basics of living a better life by
keeping them busy doing something worthwhile.
At the end, the objectives are to have the youths
have money in their pockets so that other basic
needs and wants are easily accessed."
The first step
of the project is to make all the stakeholders
well aware of the project. This will then be followed
by members of Kum Youth Focus and their partner
organisations such as Youths for Sustainability
executives plus other technicians from National
Fisheries Authorities putting together the whole
planning and design of the project. This includes
the designing and erecting of a sign board, fish
ponds and the costings of all the material needed.
All profits from the fish sales will be returned
to the project for future improvements and maintenance.
