Shepherd's Column
By Dr. Olatunji Ogunyemi, President of SFM.

Great News! SFM is putting in place all the factors of production to enable it embark on and sustain the farm project to feed the hungry. Thanks to our donors, we have acquired land and tractors. We need your continuing support to build fish tanks. We intend to tackle malnutrition among vulnerable children by producing beans and fish (tilapia and catfish).

Shepherd Food Ministry (SFM) operates within the remit of Millennium Development Goal 1 (MDG 1 - poverty and hunger) and aims to relieve food poverty through sustainable and eco-friendly farming. SFM has been feeding 130 families of widows and disabled in Ibadan since December 2006.

SFM aims to help alleviate the scourge of chronic hunger by establishing mechanized demonstration farm to empower youths and to provide training for farmers. SFM will also adopt eco-friendly preservation and storage methods with training for youths and farmers. The benefits to the farmers include steady income, awareness of post harvest crop handling, sustainability and eco-friendly farming.

SFM will establish farm shops for beneficiaries to buy food at subsidized prices. It will provide food support for beneficiaries during the time of their capacity building. SFM will boost food security in Nigeria.

Please respond to our 'Feed the hungry on your birthday apeal!'

We hope you will get involved to help SFM raise vital funds to achieve our objectives. Corporate sponsorship is welcomed. SFM seeks volunteers with skills in relevant areas.
