In a landmark event this Sunday, Rotary International President Gordon McInally unveiled a cutting-edge Aquaponics Training Centre in Johannesburg, marking a key milestone in his visionary Tour of Hope.
This initiative sweeps across six African nations, bringing sustainable solutions to the forefront of community development and food security.
At the heart of Randburg, the newly inaugurated State-of-the-Art Aquaponics Centre at Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk in Ferndale is set to be a beacon of hope and innovation.
This project, a collaboration between Rotary International through District 9400, Southern Africa, and FreshMinistries; Desmond Tutu Program to End Global Hunger, is poised to empower communities not just in South Africa, but in Eswatini, Lesotho, and Madagascar with sustainable food sources and economic growth.
Leveraging the FreshMinistries Desmond Tutu Program to End Global Hunger’s 25 years of expertise in aquaponics from the Americas to Haiti and a pioneering installation in Hoedspruit, Mpumalanga, this initiative is more than a project; it’s a lifeline. It has transformed lives, fought malnutrition, and fostered community economic development and literacy—core pillars of Rotary’“s mission.
