RIPPLING WATERS CHARITY COORDINATES ITS ACTIVITIES WITH WATER PROFESSIONALS IN THE GEOSYNTHETIC INDUSTRY ACROSS THE WORLD, LEVERAGING LOCAL RESOURCES AND COORDINATING THE ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY EFFORTS NEEDED TO DEVELOP AQUACULTURE PROJECTS. BUT REALLY, IT'S SIMPLE.AN AQUAPONIC SYSTEM BEGINS WITH TANKS OF FISH. IN KENYA, WHERE THE PROJECT IS BEGINNING, WE ARE GROWING TILAPIA, WHICH SERVE AS A FOOD SOURCE FOR THE CHILDREN AT THE ORPHANAGE WHERE WE ARE BUILDING THE SYSTEM. THE FISH ARE ONE SOURCE OF FOOD, BUT THE WATER FROM THE TANKS IS FILTERED AND USED TO GROW HERBS, VEGETABLES AND OTHER PLANTS IN THE AQUAPONIC GARDEN. THE WASTE FROM THE FISH SERVES AS FERTILIZER FOR THE PLANTS. WITH ONE SIMPLE SYSTEM, THE CHILDREN NOW HAVE VIABLE SOURCES OF NUTRIENTS AND PROTEINS IN AN EASY-TO-MAINTAIN SYSTEM.IN ADDITION TO FOOD, THE AQUAPONIC SYSTEM PROVIDES A TRADE OPPORTUNITY. THE SYSTEM WILL SERVE AS A TRADE SCHOOL FOR OLDER STUDENTS TO LEARN THE INS AND OUTS OF BUILDING AND MAINTAINING AN AQUAPONIC SYSTEM. OVER TIME THEY WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE THIS KNOWLEDGE TO OTHER VILLAGES AND HELP THEM BUILD AND MAINTAIN THEIR OWN SYSTEMS. ADDITIONALLY, ANY FOOD PRODUCED ABOVE AND BEYOND THE ORPHANAGE'S DIRECT NEEDS CAN BE SOLD AT THE LOCAL MARKET AND SERVE AS INCOME TO HELP SUSTAIN THE ORPHANAGE. BEYOND THAT, THE FUNDS WILL ALSO BE APPLIED TO PROVIDE SECONDARY EDUCATION AND HEALTH SERVICES TO THE CHILDREN AND VILLAGE AS A WHOLE. 98700 X 99565 99565 JOHN HEAP EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, CHAIRM 0.50 0 0 0 SUSAN HEAP DIRECTOR, SECRETARY/TREASU 0.50 0 0 0 LAUREN HEAP DIRECTOR 0.50 0 0 0 ELIZABETH HEAP DIRECTOR 0.50 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 JOHN HEAP 618 N PINES TRAIL PARKER CO 80138 3034705522 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 9192 63218 12500 0 100501 185411 9192 63218 12500 100501 185411 50000 50000 0 50000 50000 135411 9192 63218 12500 100501 185411 0.73030 0.47290 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED FORM 990-EZ, PART I, LINE 10 - GRANTS AND SIMILAR AMOUNTS PAID ACTIVITY CLASSIFICATION: .
