AQUACULTURE: A COMMUNITY ENDEAVOR
We’ve been hard at work developing and enhancing a fish pond. Our recent efforts were made possible by a grant from the School for International Training, the advocacy of SIT alumnae and TYoFU volunteer, Allie Stankewich, and the immense labor of a team of staff, farmworkers, and volunteers. A fish pond ensures the community has a renewable source of safe, nutritious food that supports their health and well-being. By embracing an eco-friendly design with natural filtration, native plants, and rainwater harvest, we conserve both wildlife, water, and soil. This project has allowed us to offer practical training and employment to youth and women in aquaculture, a field with significant demand in Ugandan markets.
