Our Progress
At the Fishnett, we believe that even small efforts can lead to significant change. Although our network is still growing, we’re proud of the meaningful impact we've made across various regions, including the U.S., Africa, Jamaica, the UK, and Holland. With minimal resources, our dedicated team and volunteers have laid the groundwork for initiatives that are already transforming lives. Here's how we're making a difference, and how these efforts can be exponentially expanded with the right support.
Impact Stories and Examples
A. Education
Empowering Minds: Education Across Borders
Story:
In Nigeria, volunteers from the U.S. have been working with Nigerian students and independent schools to enhance math education, financial literacy, and introduce students to cryptocurrency. Despite limited resources, these efforts have provided Nigerian students with valuable skills that prepare them for the future global economy.

"Thanks to the support from Fishnett Plan , our students are not only excelling in math but are also learning about financial independence through cryptocurrency." — Bishop, in Lagos Nigeria
B. Cultural Exchange and Language Learning:
Bridging Cultures: Language Learning Initiatives
Story:
We've facilitated connections between American students and Nigerian language tutors, helping bridge the gap in African language education. There are 195 Universities in the US that offer African Studies and students can learn an African language. This program not only preserves cultural heritage but also fosters understanding and communication across continents.

"Learning Igbo from a native speaker Mika in Lagos, Nigeria has not only improved my language skills but has also deepened my connection to my heritage." — Kristina USA
C. Economic Empowerment:
Supporting Local Economies: Expanding African Businesses Globally
Story:
In Africa, we're helping local merchants expand their reach to international consumers. Through a unique courier service, based on member travel, our network members help each other move packages across borders, saving merchants prohibitive courier costs and passing those savings back into their businesses.
