One of the many problems that local villagers face is death out at sea due to lack of safety gear. The need to earn money is so great here that people risk their lives on a daily basis. While Bethany was there five local men died on a fishing trip. Unbeknown to her, this type of accident wasn't uncommon. A simple solution of life-jackets being purchased would greatly increase the chance of survival in these life and death situations.
The Miremby Foundation hopes to provide life jacket for the fishermen in the villages we visit on our tours.
