I Dream of Fish is a non-profit organization dedicated to solving world hunger one fish at a time.
According to the United Nations, 805 million people are malnourished. (Malnourished means they aren't eating enough healthy food.) One in every nine people on our planet go to bed hungry each night. One out of six children -- roughly 101 million -- in developing countries is underweight.
How are we going to solve world hunger with fish? Through Aquaponics! Aquaponics is a food production system that houses fish on the bottom, and gardens on top. The fish live happily on the bottom- eating, mating, and creating waste. The dirty poop water is pumped up to the garden. The plants use the dirty water as fertilizer and because the water is so rich in nutrients, the plants grow at hyperspeed! The clean water then flows back down to the fish and the cycle goes on and on!
Aquaponics works well in many environments because of its small size and ability to produce large amounts of protein (from the fish) and vegetables (from the garden). It also works well in areas with limited water because of the closed-loop filtration system.
I DREAM OF FISH hopes to solve world hunger through the installation of aquaponics and farms locally and globally. We can only do this with your help.

WHAT WE DO
I DREAM OF FISH raises funds to partner with Aquaponics and farming experts around the world. These experts assess the needs of the community, survey the land, and build systems that will help support the local people.
WHERE WE WORK
We currently have farms in India, Uganda and Haiti. View our map to see our farm locations here.
