William Wibilo is turning his training in aquafarming into a business, and a future.
After studying aquafarming, he’s now launching a shrimp and fish business in Mozambique’s Maputo National Park, using a business kit designed to help him grow something that lasts.
He’s one of many local entrepreneurs taking this step, turning skills into income, and income into opportunity for their families and communities.
At a recent event, business kits were handed over to support small enterprises across the park. From fishing to beauty to grocery businesses, each kit is a starting point for something bigger.
This initiative is funded by Blue Action Fund, led by Maputo National Park and implemented by Mozambique’s National Administration for Conservation Areas (ANAC), and Peace Parks Foundation in partnership with Mozambique’s Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), Livaningo and Associação do Meio Ambiente (AMA).
It’s a practical example of how co-management works on the ground, bringing together partners to support both people and the ecosystems they depend on.
“I studied aquafarming at the fishing school, so I handle fish professionally… I see this as a business that can grow and help develop my community,” says William.
