Feeding the Growth of a Sustainable Source of Nutrition in Ghana

The aquaculture programs in this tiny village near Ghana’s coast showed great promise. Then, tragedy struck. A mass mortality event due to the worst known disease outbreak in history affected every farm. 

Who are you going to help? The people of Sogakope village in Ghana and the surrounding villages.

Why should you support this initiative? By creating a safe and environmentally responsible aquaculture program in this area, we will be able to offer stability and food security for the population in the entire region.

How will you support them? Building the largest integrated socioeconomic farm in Africa, which will host multiple species to create an interspecies synergy that generates food and jobs for the men and women of the village.
