Nora Vigasini
Abstract :
This community based project focused on enhancing health and livelihood capacity of fisherwomen in Kasimedu, (Royapuram fishing harbour), a prime coastal fishing hamlet in the coast of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Taking into consideration their poor knowledge base, low literacy, skills, capacities and opportunities to maintain, enhance or diversify current livelihood strategies, this project was undertaken to improve the prospect for self–employability through preparation and sale of value added fish products as it is a lucrative business proposal for self–employment especially for fisher women with limited financial resources. Besides this, the project focused on promoting their knowledge on nutrition, health, hygiene and sanitation which are core factors for attaining all the basic social components necessary for a better standard of living.
