  roberto huner, Italy

Lomè is the capital and largest city of Togo, located on the Gulf of
Guinea. On the coast is traditionally active fishing with large nets
released near the shore and pull on the beach by the strength of
dozen of young men joined in a cooperative. The fish caught in
the net are often scarce and of small size at the expense of hard
daily work.
Microfinance give these people the opportunity to purchase
modern equipment such as winches for fishing nets to work in a
more simple and cost effective by increasing the income of
fishermen.
