For decades, the waters of Lake Victoria have supported millions of livelihoods across East Africa. However, beneath its beauty lies a painful reality, with thousands of fisherfolk losing their lives to violent storms, unstable wooden boats and unsafe fishing conditions. To address this challenge, Kenya Shipyards Limited (KSL) has developed safer Glass Reinforced Polymer (GRP) boats fitted with auto-recovery features designed to keep them afloat even in rough waters. Edward Chweya visited the KSL yard in Kisumu and filed this report for the Made in Kenya segment.
