Join a HOPE event
Fish feed the plants. The plants feed Delft.
A new aquaponic system at the BBR Community Garden, funded through Rotary and run with Eduponics, grows fish and vegetables for HOPE's feeding programme and herbs for a community enterprise run by young people.
Feeds families
About half of what the garden grows goes to HOPE's feeding programme.
Trains agripreneurs
Young people learn aquaponics, hydroponics and food business on a working farm.
Pays its way
Herbs and fish sold direct cover the running costs. Every month is measured and reported.
