Bolena Tilapia

Bolena, a beacon of sustainability, women, and community empowerment, is situated along the picturesque shores of Lake Victoria in Siaya County, Kenya. We take pride in being a 100% women-owned enterprise with a workforce of over 50% women. It was founded over a decade ago, and we have evolved from a fish producer into a holistic aquaculture enterprise, proudly introducing a hatchery and fish feed mill to our operations. The founders have recognized the pressing issue of overfishing in Lake Victoria, which has led to a scarcity of fish, particularly tilapia. Bolena has embarked on its journey, driven by a vision to transform the aquaculture landscape in East Africa.
