The young entrepreneur Kizza Joseph is a fisherman and it’s through fishing that he is what he is today. He is 29 years old, married with 5 children and has four of his late brother’s children in his care. He owns two boats that operate at the Katebo landing site off Masaka road as well as other fishing materials like fishing nets. At times he fishes himself and this earns him a lot while at other times, especially when he needs a rest, he employs other fishermen on his boats. His customers are fish retailers from surrounding towns as well as tourists. He requests a loan to enable him sell more fish now that their prices are high.

Journal Entrepreneur: Joseph Kizza Location: Katebo, Uganda Fishing is a good business that brings is sure deal money most especially if you have your own boats and nets, plus every thing that could help maximize profits. Kizza Joseph has been a fisherman for a good time now and he is so happy that he has people that depend on him in business; that is his customers and co workers. The loan repayment has been smooth and prompt only that now the waters on which he does his business have not been stable for the past 1 week meaning that no one can dare tamper with fishing. He, together with his fellow men are now involved in other works like helping their wives with the farm as they wait to go back to business. The photo shows that since there is no fishing at the moment, the boats are parked and now the cows have a chance to meander around.
