Social Entrepreneurship - Ornamental Fish Farm



An Ornamental Fish Farm Model Unit was recently installed at the Stella Maris Foundation (Grants Pen, Jamaica) to assist youth at risk with options for business and income opportunities. The project was made possible thanks to the Area Youth Foundation’s year-long initiative that was supported by the Jamaica Social Investment Fund [JSIF via their Jamaica Violence Action Fund (JAVA)].

This initiative is especially important, as it demonstrates that service goes far beyond just 'handing out' items for relieve; it involves the implementation of actions that help people to help themselves. That is why it is extremely important for key players to work together with Community Based organizations and Voluntary groups who are strategically positioned to connect with and deliver solutions where they are most needed.
