Kenya - Business creation project

Décrivez votre projet en quelques mots

As a farmer with a background in fashion the use of other organic based materials to manufacture clothing and apparel made solely from fish leather is the aim here as a fabric alternative and help aid recycle the skin which produces methane gas once decom

01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail

Using Fish leather as an alternative fabric choice for the clothing and apparel industry is a very valid choice as the pros out weigh the cons. Fish skin is heavily trashed out during the filleting process therefore readily available in damping sites which unfortunately once decomposed methane gas is dismissed off to the environment causing harm to man,flora and fauna. The tanning process is available in organic options whereby naturally occurring elements,that is vegetable tanners can be used which are eco friendly but a very expensive venture or chrome tanning industrial chemicals which are used on large scale basis and a cheaper alternative. Once embraced, fish leather can be a trillions incurring venture n create job opportunities both unskilled and skilled. Currently I already am in my research phase currently at Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institution publishing my Fish Leather Project and getting guidance and professional guidance according to the institutions mandate.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

As a fashion designer getting access to good quality fabric led me to seek organically available options therefore I secured a scholarship to pursue agribusiness. Organic alternatives are readily available in large quantities whereby they may lead to pollution once decomposed. Many fabrics being used these days especially those that are man made are very harmful to the ones who make them as the laborers are forced to use harsh chemicals in production. Using viscose as an example many clothes are being made from this plant based resource that uses harsh chemicals to process. Workers suffer long term health issues, manufactures misuse poor people to give them free labour as they know how harmful and costly it is to process the final product. Fish leather as a source of fabric can be used to make clothes as its smooth nature once I experiment using pigeon urine to smoothen it durability longevity can be used to make bags and suitcases without necessary having to deplete any resource

01.03 Dites-nous quels sont les principaux avantages et/ou bénéfices de l'utilisation du produit/service que vous souhaitez fournir par votre projet (au moins 3).

Fish leather products are unique in nature as the exotic finish of the raw material gives an aesthetic that is unique and one of a kind. Using Fish leather as a fabric alternative does not lead to any depletion of the source as the approach is to recycle the already trashed out fish skin and also venture into fish farming activities that also value adds the skin whereby larger single fish skins will have to be reared to achieve single pieces that are bigger using applied fishing taxonomy guidelines of rearing once the meat is sold. As a business venture, it will create job opportunities for both the unskilled and skilled not withholding any form of disability challenges to all with a trillion success rate when all systems are set.

01.04 Veuillez décrire précisément à qui s'adressera le produit/service de votre projet. Quels sont les bénéficiaires visés ?

The consumer is the drive whereby fish leather products are to be manufactured and distributed in mass and luxury alternatives driven by the Fashion Design skills I poses whereby as the Creative Director of Nguzo Wear, well planed out Seasonal collections of clothes and also bags and suitcases to be distributed to the market is the main objective. Also in my Aquaculture and Mariculture ventures,delving into the distribution of fish to fill a gap whereby affordable frozen fish shall be distributed to seal the gap of nutrition dearly needed by many.

7 - Tout à fait d'accord

02.01.02 Justification de la contribution de mon projet

Poverty in this context is showcased by the use of free labor by exploiting the poor people in society taking advantage of their vulnerability. Nguzo Wear on the other hand aims at creating job opportunities whereby both unskilled and skilled labor will be outsourced with a surety of well paid packages as this project as earlier stated can be a trillion dollar business venture once all systems are set bearing in mind that even the physically challenged are welcome as they are in large numbers living below the poverty levels due to discrimination.

As fish is the business, it can be used as an alternative to protein supplements once we start rearing whereby affordable fish packages can be distributed to the market.Kindly note that affordability here is key as many endure hunger due to eating unbalanced meals. And since fish is protein in nature,it is an energy giving food source that will help aid zero hunger. Also through job creation opportunities even though not all will be employed we can make sure helping a certain number will also lead to them being able to fend for the families and also reach to the communities at large.
