Making a difference in the lives of rural families in northern Sierra Leone

Zaindriss Foundation .Inc provides huge assistance to farmers stricken by the poverty trap of not having enough resources to cultivate adequate staple food - rice. With land being in excess, we’re involved in agriculture through the provision of quality mechanized equipment, seeds and fertilizers to farmers through a community farming system that brings back all able-bodied farmers to the village. Ploughing is on going for 2019 Agriculture Year

Zaindriss Foundation Conducts Seed Germination Test

 At Zaindriss Foundation .Inc, we go through an extensive process of sorting and testing to ensure we are planting a healthy, vigorous rice seed of the variety called ROK 34.

In a bid to contribute to food self-sufficiency in Masimera chiefdom, Port Loko district in northern Sierra Leone, Zaindriss is organising a community-led rice cultivation initiative that would see just over 100 acres of land cultivated for the 2019 planting season. Community access to farm mechanisation (including ploughing and harrowing) and viable agro-inputs have been the hallmark of this venture.

For this germination test, an agronomist and head of the field unit – Ahmed Alaska Bangura – sorted the seeds by color, shape and size. He then tested the germination rate, and phenotype, to verify the seeds are of high quality.

This home germination test recorded 98% success rate. The collaboration of Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry is paying off, in the interest of farming families in Sierra Leone.

The Soweto uprising occurred June 16th 1976 with series of demonstration and protests led by black school children in South Africa.

Since 1991 The Day Of The African Child have been globally recognized in honor of all South African youths and children who died and to also raise awareness of the continuing need for improvement of education provided to African children.

In commemoration of this day, we spent the day with our children and beneficiaries at the Mayolla Lal Raton Village Port Loko District Primary School Children where we had a match pass, interacted, fed the community, played the popular Sarafina movie, advised them about the importance of them going to school and later on donated books, pencil, erasers, sharpeners, and other school supplies to about 500 children in the community. "If children are given the necessary tools to succeed they will beyond their wildest dreams!" Zaindriss Foundation would like to say thank you #PatriciaMbaluKamara and #AugustaKay for these donations may the Lord bless your hearts
