    Situation

    Poverty among fishing families. Isolation among retired fishermen. Mental and General Health among fishing crews.

    Solution

    We have a nationwide network of port welfare officers who meet with fishermen and their families in person to help with financial and welfare issues. We also run a mobile clinic that travels the country providing on-the-spot medical checks and mental health signposting services in the fishing ports to make accessing these services more accessible for local fishermen and their families.
