Targeted Aquaponic Growth

Feed a Child. Change a Life. Define a Future

Project Overview

The Case for Support

Targeted Aquaponic Growth (a 501c3) is embarking on an ambitious aquaculture project

in partnership with The Church of Uganda and working directly with the Archbishop and his staff. We envision a future where children in Uganda no longer suffer from malnutrition, where they have access to nutritious meals year-round, and where communities thrive through sustainable agriculture and education. We have designed and are set to build an integrated fish farm which will make this vision a reality. Situated waterfront on the shores of Lake Victoria, the farm will be built on a 10-acre portion of a historic 30-acre church property in Katosi, Uganda. To bring this transformational project to fulfillment…

We seek your support to raise USD $910,000.

Key Strategic Resources

  • Uganda’s National Aquaculture Center equips us with invaluable resources and expertise. Staffed with local aquaculture experts in breeding, hatchery operations, nutritional science, pond engineering and construction, it will serve as a tremendous hub of knowledge and in-country innovation. The Aquaculture Center has a large set of production ponds as well as a substantial hatchery and a fully equipped feed mill capable of producing floating fish food. Click here to learn more.

  • Situated just 500 yards from the farm, The Pines encompass a beautiful 20-acre property which feature four guesthouses as well as a swimming pool, tennis court, and beautifully landscaped jogging trails. The property also has a separate great room building that will serve as our classroom training center where we will teach courses on various aspects of agriculture- from grain storage to canning and preserving. We envision this as a base for TAG’s leaders to host short term mission trips and working interims.
