The Hydro-Preneur Initiative (H.P.I), led by Teach for Nigeria fellows, is designed to improve school attendance and boost family income in underserved Nigerian communities, particularly in Ogun State.
This Hydroponics, is simply a soil-free method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions in water, allows for food cultivation even in limited spaces, making it an accessible and cost-effective solution for these communities.
Through H.P.I, we’ll educate both parents and students the practice of hydroponic farming, empowering them to grow nutritious food and establish a source of income. By providing a sustainable way to meet their daily survival needs.
5 out of 6 classes experience drastic reduction of about 40% in attendance of pupils especially on Thursdays and Fridays of every school week. Despite the intervention of the school authorities in sensitizing the parents about the benefits of regular school attendance for their children, little to no changes have been recorded.
*Goals and Impact*
Empowerment: Equip families with valuable farming skills and financial literacy.
Increased School Attendance: Enhanced motivation and capacity to pursue education.
Community Development: Reduced poverty and improved nutrition, benefitting the entire community.
*Our Vision for Expansion*
Our big-picture plan is to expand this initiative, as hydroponics can address the economic instability in Nigeria by reducing inflation, making farming viable in areas without fertile land, and mitigating crop insecurity from issues like herders' activities.
