Bwongyera Fish Farmers and Pond Constructor’s Coop is a youth cooperative in western Uganda. Because of rampant unemployment the youth took construction of fish ponds as a way of earning a living. Later they discovered that they could also use the excavated soils to make bricks for sale and to construct their own houses. The co-operative operates in Kibatsi, Ihunga, Nyabihoko and Bwongyera sub counties, in Kajara County in Ntungamo District in Uganda.
