The proverbial “giving man a fish, feeding him for a day—teaching him to fish, feeding him for a lifetime” took a twist when DOLE helped them not only to fish but also by providing alternative livelihood that supports the program for sustainable fishing. DOLE RO No. 6 through its Negros Occidental Field Office (NOFO) released recently a Php200,000 worth of Sari-Sari Store Project to the Olamhay Fisherfolk Association at Brgy. Sta Mesa, Manapla, Negros Occidental as part of DOLE’s commitment to DOLE-USAID Fish Right Program collaboration.
