We need your help to introduce Aquaponic farming to communities in Kerala, India! Growing Networks, a new international collaborative, in partnership with Sweet Water has been funded by UW-Madison to take 8 UW-Madison students to Kerala, India and constuct one of the first aquaponics systems in the country with a local university! This system will form the base for research, and collaboration to create a network of AQUAPONS in India!
  
But we need your help to close our funding gap and make our project effective and sustainable!
  
Please contribute to our initiative by attending our fundraising event and purchasing a $20 ticket either through this page, or directly at the door! If you do choose to purchase a ticket at the door, please RSVP to the event so we know your coming. With your help we can reach our fundraising goal of $2,000 to make this trip a reality!
