The social enterprise HYDROVEGE comes from the words Hydroponic and Vegetables. Hydroponics is a method to grow plants without soil but water reaches as nutrients directly. Unlike other Hydroponics farms, our vegetables are grown in towers in order to deal with the limited farming areas in TaiwanSince 2009, Meishan Christian Church has taken care of kids from underprivileged families free of charge.
Now there are 30 kids in total from elementary school to high school. HYDROVEGE, a new social enterprise, with an economic point of view, got involved. With new farming ideas and techniques, HYDROVEGE was established a social purposes towards a financially sustainable way.In each project, there will be some high school students take the leadership for helping and leading the group. The profits from the project will be used part as their part-time allowances and support their families.
