Our Projects
A closer look at the hydroponic gardens, school learning systems, greenhouses, screenhouses, farmer training and solar dryers we have delivered.
Selected Projects Delivered to Date
Each project is shaped around its site and the people who use it. Browse the photographs and descriptions to see the growing systems, structures and training activities in practice. Select any image to enlarge it.
Bombo Army Secondary School
The school garden was set up as a practical STEM learning and food production space. Its layout includes eight 3 metre NFT channels, ten Dutch buckets, a shared nutrient tank and one pump, designed for up to 500 plants. Students can observe nutrient flow, root development, plant care and harvesting in a working system.
Wakadogo School
At Wakadogo School, a 6 by 12 metre greenhouse combines a solar powered pump, a 500 litre reservoir and passive hydroponic growing. Nursery shelves support early plant growth before transplanting. The project also included practical training for 93 pupils and 38 community members, connecting classroom learning with crop production.
Kinawataka Rooftop Gardens
These rooftop gardens make productive use of available space in a densely built Kampala neighbourhood. The photographs show long rows of growing channels and raised garden units arranged across rooftops. The setup brings vegetable production close to households where ground space is limited and gives growers a visible, hands on way to care for crops.
Kyaaka Refugee Community Farming
Implemented with AYAN Organisation, this project brought hydroponic growing into a refugee community setting. The photographs show community members working around the growing system and farmers harvesting vegetables. Together they document both the practical activity of producing food and the participation of local growers in the project.
Tomato Project at UNFAO
This project demonstrates tomato production using a protected hydroponic growing setup. The photographs show tomato plants supported as they grow, allowing growers to guide the vines, monitor plant health and manage a fruiting crop through its production cycle.
Hydroponic Demonstration Garden
The Namugongo demonstration garden shows several parallel hydroponic channels arranged for leafy vegetable production. The open layout makes the flow of water and nutrients easy to inspect and provides a practical place to demonstrate planting, routine crop care and harvesting to farmers and visitors.
Greenhouse Installation
The Ntenjeru greenhouse provides a covered growing environment with a high roof and open side ventilation. The photograph shows the completed structure and its footprint, illustrating how protected cultivation can shield crops from heavy rain while allowing air to move through the growing area.
Hydroponic Systems in Rwanda
The Rwanda project photographs show the installation of long, parallel hydroponic channels and the surrounding garden layout. The channels create clear growing rows that can be serviced and harvested systematically, while the installation view records the construction work behind a functioning hydroponic garden.
Fodder and Harvest Activities
The Jinja photographs show a hydroponic fodder setup alongside harvested forage. In fodder production, seed is soaked, spread in trays and watered as it sprouts into fresh feed. The images help explain the relationship between the growing trays and the feed prepared for livestock.
Field Installation and Growing Activities
These additional photographs record hands on work at growing sites: a farmer displaying leafy produce, a team tending hydroponic channels, and participants examining a garden installation. They show the practical tasks behind a project, including crop handling, system care and shared learning. The original image filenames do not identify a specific location.
NARO Screenhouses
Four screenhouses built for NARO in Lira provide protected, ventilated growing space for agricultural work. The photographs show the screened walls and completed structures. The mesh allows air to circulate while helping keep larger pests away from crops, creating a more controlled environment for cultivation.
Rubongi Army Secondary School
At Rubongi Army Secondary School in Tororo, the hydroponic garden supports practical learning about food production. One photograph shows the school community around the growing system, while the tomato image records a fruiting crop. Students can connect science lessons with plant support, watering, crop observation and harvesting.
Greenhouse Project
The Fort Portal photograph documents a greenhouse during installation, with the frame and covering taking shape on site. A protected structure creates a defined growing area and helps growers manage crops through changing weather. The image captures the construction stage as the team prepares the space for cultivation.
Masanafu Hydroponics and Farmer Training
The Masanafu project pairs a working hydroponic garden with farmer training. One photograph shows leafy crops established in parallel channels; another shows participants gathered around a system during a practical session. The arrangement supports learning about channel layout, transplanting, crop care and routine inspection.
Kinawataka Hydroponics Project
This Kinawataka project uses compact hydroponic channels in an urban setting. The photograph shows the growing lines arranged in a narrow space, making it easier to see how channels, plants and water delivery fit together. The layout is suited to growers who need to make productive use of a small site.
Vertical Gardens and Basil at FAO
At the FAO project site, vertical growing units use height to increase planting space in a compact footprint. The accompanying basil photograph shows a leafy crop established in horizontal channels. Together, the images illustrate two ways to organise hydroponic crops for accessible planting, inspection and harvest.
Hydroponics Training in Rwamwanja
The Rwamwanja photograph shows a practical training session with participants gathered around hydroponic channels. The group is close to the system, making it possible to discuss how planting spaces are arranged and how crops are handled and maintained. The project took place in a refugee community setting.
Smallholder Gardens on Mawanda Road
These smallholder gardens on Mawanda Road show compact hydroponic units suited to home and urban growing. The photographs highlight tiered channels and leafy plants close to a building wall. A vertical arrangement uses height efficiently and keeps plants within reach for inspection and harvesting.
Solar Dryers for Local Value Chains
The photographs document solar dryer projects in Kamuli, Kaberamaido and Katakwi, from the enclosed structures to on site installation work. The Kaberamaido and Katakwi dryers were 8 by 6 metres and included A frame drying shelves, fans and access ramps. The covered structures protect produce during drying and help reduce exposure to rain, dust and animals.
And Many More Projects
This page features selected projects completed by Hydroponic Farms Uganda. Our work also includes additional hydroponic installations, protected growing structures, irrigation systems and farmer training across Uganda and the region.
