Home-grown sustainability

The Community Farm provides both an educational space and professional platform for women and students to learn and put into practice organic, aquaponic techniques and animal husbandry.

• Compost & Regeneration: With pigs, goats, rabbits, and three fishing ponds filled with tilapia, Action Kivu's visionary leader Amani and agronomist Mukengere utilize some of the latest techniques in aquaponics, composting the waste from the animals to feed the fish.

• Aquaponics: The farmers use the nutrient rich water from the tilapia ponds to water their crops.

• Harvest & Sustainability: At harvest, the crops feed the women's families, are sold at the market for income, and to the Congo Peace School to provide organic, healthy meals to the students there.
