WIFIP
The International Extension College (IEC) is currently involved with the Women in Fishing Industry Project (WIFIP) in Kenya . The project focuses on women in the Lake Victoria region who work in the fishing industry. By developing a radio-based education programme, it aims to build women's capacity in running small business enterprises, and also incorporates a health awareness programme in order to reduce the spread of STIs in the area.
