The Transformative Power of Sustainable Fishing at Lake Turana
The fishing community around Lake Turana faces severe challenges, with sweltering temperatures that can soar up to 40°C hindering both the physical comfort and livelihood of local fishermen. Recent reports indicate a worrying decline in fish catches, prompting many fishermen to abandon their trades, leaving those who remain struggling to make a living.
To combat this dire situation, social entrepreneur Francis Deru has been paving a new path for sustainability. His groundbreaking initiative, “Keep It Cool,” has garnered attention and acclaim, recently winning the Earth Short Prize for its innovative approach to enhancing sustainability in the fishing industry.
