Sakafia Islamic Senior High School Wins Global Sustainability Award

Sakafia Islamic Senior High School, Kumasi, has made history by winning the prestigious 2025 Zayed Sustainability Prize in the Global High Schools category for Sub-Saharan Africa. The award, hosted in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, comes with a cash prize of $150,000, which will support the school’s groundbreaking sustainability initiatives.

Award-Winning Aquaponics Project

At the heart of this achievement is the school’s pioneering aquaponics project, a visionary initiative aimed at addressing food insecurity through innovative and sustainable agricultural practices.

The project integrates aquaculture (fish farming) with hydroponics (soil-free plant cultivation), creating a self-sustaining ecosystem where fish waste provides nutrients for plants, and the plants purify the water for the fish.

This forward-thinking approach offers multiple benefits:

• Improved Food Security: A reliable and sustainable food production system for the school and surrounding community.
• Hands-On Education: Students gain practical skills in environmental science, agriculture, and sustainability.

• Environmental Stewardship: The project reduces water usage and minimizes waste, promoting eco-friendly practices.
