The NEFAD Foundation Fishnet Factory was built in 2010 in Jaffna by Australian Aid and Caritas has played a pivotal role in providing employment for more than 80 residents of the area surrounding the Jaffna suburb of Gurunagar. 55% of the workforce are women, and the factory manufactures affordable and high quality fishnets that are delivered to a large network of customers around the island. Pictured are two female workers inspecting a thread weaving machine that weaves thousands of yards of nylon string that go into the fishnets that are shipped out. © Reza Akram / DFAT 2017
