History of Kaddra-Farm Inc. (Aims and Objectives)

To maximize the vocational school’s impact, Kaddra-Farm Inc. will conduct ongoing assessments and gather feedback from students, instructors, and employers. This continuous evaluation process will help identify areas for improvement, ensuring that training programs remain effective and responsive to community needs. By adapting to feedback and emerging trends, the school will maintain its relevance and support long-term positive outcomes for all participants.     

Additionally, outreach campaigns will be implemented to raise awareness about the vocational school's benefits and encourage participation from underrepresented groups, including women and individuals with disabilities. By fostering an inclusive environment and removing barriers to access, Kaddra-Farm Inc. seeks to ensure that all community members can take advantage of these valuable educational opportunities and contribute to the region’s growth and resilience.

  • What is your current activities?

    Current activities include ongoing farming projects in Gbinle-Dixian Chiefdom and collaboration with the Everybody-Must-farm (EMF) organization in Sierra Leone. The focus is on training farmers in modern agricultural techniques, microfinance, microeconomics, and related areas such as:

    • Entrepreneurial awareness

    • Business planning

    • Basic bookkeeping

    • Business management

    • Formation of micro-saving and credit groups

    • Monitoring and evaluation

    • Group officer selection

    These initiatives aim to educate, build capacity, and improve living standards, ultimately contributing to poverty reduction and peacebuilding through training and support.




  • What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

    The organization’s aim is driven by the vision of fighting against hunger. Its a movement contributing to a sustained improvement of living conditions, stability and health without hunger, Kaddra farm plans to end hunger through by empowering youths, farmers and the back-yards women gardeners in the communities, economic development and responding to emergencies.

  • What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

    Kaddra-Farm aims to end hunger through its STAY-FOCUS strategy, prioritizing farmers by providing training and introducing new farming techniques to boost healthy food production for both consumption and sale, ultimately increasing farmers' incomes.

    The strategy also promotes self-sufficiency, hybrid crop introduction, and high-tech farming methods to enhance food supply and combat poverty and hunger in the country.

    Kaddra-Farm encourages youth of all genders to participate in backyard vegetable gardening.

    Additionally, the organization is planning advanced storage solutions to protect seeds, tools, and support veterinary services. Kaddra-Farm seeks partnerships with local farmers and strives to reach 3 million people with food security initiatives over five years, while continually engaging more volunteers and donors by 2025.


  • What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

     The organization's core assets lie in its experienced management team, which drives strategy, fulfils customer needs, and ensures operational efficiency. Their expertise enables effective resource management, adaptation to change, and continuous capability development.

    We expand our reach with external partners in Sierra Leone, supporting communities and villages through emergency response, poverty reduction, and empowering farmers.



  • What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

       Between 2020 and 2021, four rural communities—Ro-Mankeneh, Ro-Mankeh, Ro-Kalangba, Ro-Salatoke—and one urban community, 4-Mile, were chosen from the Gbinle-Dixian chiefdom. Altogether, 400 disadvantaged men and women, including seven people with disabilities, gained the ability to provide food, medical care, and educational support for their families.

    Kaddra-Farm Inc. supplied local farming tools, fertilizers, and seeds to community women and youth engaging in small-scale backyard gardening, making it easier for them to carry out farming activities.

    We also organized youth groups to promote cooperation and increase agricultural output. Additionally, we constructed a water well and installed a hand pump to improve access to safe drinking water. A public toilet was built in Ro-Mankeneh to accommodate visitors and uphold women's dignity.

    Our organization is guided by three core principles: (a) empowering farmers, (b) directing development programs within communities, and (c) ensuring accountability.


  • What’s next?

    Next year, we plan to set up a Food Processing Center to manufacture, package, store, label, and distribute food for commercial partners, including those in vegetable, poultry, and egg processing. 

     Despite the prevailing peace in the country, Sierra Leone continues to face challenges such as illiteracy, public health concerns, and inadequate sanitation. Contributing factors include corruption, deficiencies within the education system, poor governance, and mismanagement of public funds.

    Kaddra Farm Inc. is committed to addressing these issues by supporting initiatives that enhance the quality of life for Sierra Leoneans through agricultural development in the Chiefdoms.

    By 2025, our objective is to provide food to over 2.5 million people across Sierra Leone. Furthermore, Kaddra Farm seeks sustained growth, focusing on expanding job training and creation to drive economic progress in the years ahead. Our goal is to restore food security for up to 10 million individuals annually through local production, community empowerment programs, and collaborative partnerships.


         

Activities Targeting the Development Plan for Communities

To develop community parks, such as residential areas, office parks, industrial parks and recreational areas which would create healthy environments aiming at improving public safety and security especially, for children in the neighborhoods.

  • planting plants

Activities Targeting Farmers in Sierra Leone

Kaddra-Farm Inc., would be a non-profit corporation focusing on agriculture activities. It will also be responsible for the distribution of its donated material from the donors to the consumers of recipients.


Farming in most parts of Sierra Leone is for subsistence in which food crops such as Rice, Yams, Cassava and Groundnuts are grown for food consumption. Farmers often grow these crops through mixed cropping, Kaddra-Farm Inc. plans to organize groups of farmers in the communities with the aim of helping them to use Hybrid crops so that they can produce more both for food and for sale.

  • digging land

Activities Aiming at Alleviating Hunger and Poverty in Sierra Leone (West Africa)

The ultimate goal is to develop and sustain strong farming communities in Sierra Leone who would be taught micro economics, Hybrid Rice production and many more. These approaches would unite farming families and communities providing skills that would maximize the ways in which they farm their lands.
