There are few paying jobs for the women of Masimanimba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, but there is a profitable market for selling dried fish to the traders headed for Kinshasa. Special Self-Help funds helped purchase worktables, a kerosene freezer, and drying racks for the Center of Agricultural Promotion, where the women conduct their business.
