SAMPLE Uganda Aquaculture Association

Welcomes you with great pleasure and excitement for your visit on this site.

• SAMPLE Uganda Aquaculture Association is a membership social enterprise, started as a collaboration between Nkumba Community members and Wakiso Integrated Rural Development Association (WIRDA), conceived to support new and existing Ugandan community fish farmers (students, youth, and women) who are stuck in their Aquaculture processing systems to unstuck them with affordable & accessible services and technologies using Market-Based Approaches.
• The global community has a grand plan. By 2030, all hunger should be eradicated. Public funds alone are insufficient to finance it – further funds from the private sector must be mobilised. In order to support people in poorer, rural regions on a long-term basis, SAMPLE Uganda has adopted, among other things, market-based approaches. Our Market-oriented models guarantee that people living in poverty become actors: as customers and consumers, producers, employees or entrepreneurs.
• SAMPLE Uganda also targets Students through its HOPE Incubator to create the Next generation of Aquaculture processors to get a first foot on the ladder of becoming fully fledged Aquaculture Entrepreneurs with an ability to generate an income for themselves and their families via modern Aquaculture processing.
• SAMPLE Uganda also provides affordable extension services and products to its 136 Subscribing membership fish farming organizations located in at least 80% of all the Ugandan 146 districts.
• SAMPLE Uganda believes that simple and affordable technologies can create a great differences among the poor and vulnerable fish farming communities.
• To that end, SAMPLE Uganda prounds itself as a club member of the Social Entrepreneurship World, with a goal of helping Ugandan small holder farmers overcome constraints and obstacles in fish farming by offering them affordable solutions and products based on affordable and proven local technologies.
