Design without Borders' locally produced life jacket provides the poor fishermen of Uganda with a safer working day.
The number of drownings amongst Ugandan fishermen is very high. The reason being is that many fishermen can't swim and are reluctant to use a life jacket
In collaboration with the Ugandan organisation, National Lake Rescue Institute, Design without Borders has developed a user-friendly and locally produced life jacket. The organisation reports that more and more fishermen are investing in the life-saving garment.
