2,500 Tilapia Stocked at the City of Refuge Farm

“2500 Tilapias!! Thank you Jesus!” That was the word from the field this month: the City of Refuge farm in Honduras has stocked 2,500 one-month-old tilapia fingerlings.

It is worth pausing on what a number like that means. IMI’s entire model is built on self-sustaining, income-generating projects that fund transformation, and the tilapia ponds are that model in miniature. Fish do not just get eaten once; a stocked pond becomes an ongoing source of protein for the 90 children who live at the City of Refuge and for the community around it.

The City of Refuge near Comayagua is already nearly self-sustaining, with a working farm, a feed mill, and a goal that sounds audacious until you watch it take shape: feeding 10,000 people every day with protein, fruits, and vegetables. Every pond stocked and every field planted moves that goal closer.

This is what your giving builds. Not a one-time meal, but a farm that keeps producing meals, season after season. Give thanks with us — and if you would like to help the farm grow, the Donate page is the place to start.
