“Cast the net over the right side of the boat and you will find something.” (John 21: 6b)

Consider giving a gift that provides life-saving benefits to families who want only to work hard and provide for their families. The gift of a fishing village, or a tilapia pond are gifts of life.

Fishing villages benefit not only the fishermen, but also their families and communities. Villagers are taught deep-sea fishing and business practices that are both ecologically friendly and economically sound. With your help, we can transform an entire village.

Farming tilapia is also an excellent way to fight hunger. Food For The Poor has set up tilapia ponds from which poor villages are fed. Through educated maintenance, ponds will continually produce for starving communities. In addition to being an excellent source of protein, tilapia are among the easiest and most profitable fish to farm.
