FAO provided Shadrack with the feed to jump start the two existing fish ponds which were still operating below capacity, as well as built two additional fish ponds.
When Shadrack Kipkurui Meli completed his Diploma in Fisheries and Aquaculture from Moi University, Chepkoilel Campus, he did not know that being a fish farmer would transform his life to an international consultant in aquaculture.
Upon completion of his studies in 2013, the 27-year-old fifth born of six children went to central Kenya, Mwea, to work on a fish farm. During his two year stint he trained many fishfarmers, and the uptake was overwhelming even though traditionally people from Central part of Kenya do not eat fish.
