Sustainable Rural Fish Farming: Boosting Income with Eco-Friendly Feed in a Circular Economy
Support Sustainable Fish Farming: Transforming Waste into Feed for Rural Sabah Families
Rural families in Sabah rely on farming to achieve self-sufficiency, utilizing natural resources to grow food and generate income. This vital practice helps cover essential living costs, from children’s education to medical expenses. To empower these families, we provide knowledge, skills, and resources in phases, enabling them to build sustainable livelihoods.
One key component is fish farming, a manageable and essential protein source for rural communities. Adequate protein ensures balanced nutrition, reduces health issues, and supports the healthy growth of children. However, fish farming poses challenges, including the time and cost required to rear and breed fish fry for distribution to beneficiaries.
To tackle this, we’ve developed an innovative solution: repurposing clean, edible expired food waste from Kota Kinabalu stores into fish feed.
This not only reduces landfill waste but also turns discarded resources into valuable inputs for sustainable fish farming.
Here’s how your support makes a difference:
Sustainability: We hire local workers to maintain the fish farming system, operate pellet machines to produce fish feed, and distribute fish fry to rural families, helping them kickstart their own fish farms.
The process below demonstrates how rural farmers transform food waste into eco-friendly pellets.
Community Empowerment: This initiative reduces living costs, improves food security, and provides families with the tools to break free from poverty.
Building a Sustainable Ecosystem: This farming system is an ongoing initiative since we began our farming projects. By using repurposed sustainable feeds, we aim to lower rearing costs and create a self-sustaining ecosystem, making the project more efficient and less burdensome in the long run.

Why We Need Your Help
This program creates lasting change for rural Sabah families, but we need your backing to cover critical costs like labor, utilities, and transportation. Your contribution helps us extend this sustainable initiative to more families in need.

By supporting this project, you’re not just funding fish farming—you’re empowering families to grow their own vegetables, fruits, and fish, fostering independence, reducing poverty, and ensuring they can afford education and healthcare for their children.

Together, we can transform lives and create a more sustainable future for rural Sabah communities.
