Experience they say, is the best teacher. Anne Kang’ong’, a fish farmer, knows this too well. In her ambitious journey, she made several blunders that almost sunk her fish business. Kang’ong’a, owner of Atoryas farm in Maragwa, Murang’a County, says her entry into fish farming has been eventful.

“I learnt everything the hard way. I started this project with so much promise and excitement but along the way encountered crippling challenges. But thank goodness, I have recovered and stabilised,” she says.
