why sopada?

SOPADA  is an acronym for Solidaritè Pour l'Amélioration et le Developpement Agricole. (Solidarity for Agricultural Improvement and Development) born out of the desire to create a mechanised subsistence agriculture to generate produce that improves human feeding while efficiently carrying along and involving local workforce.

Its first and foremost aim is the enhancement of farming techniques of other farming companies in the Donga region and assisting them in soil preparation when they request . Our goals also include social utility actions like the construction of schools, water wells and health dispensaries.

 Our activities began in January 2013 and are, at the moment, wholly self-financed . We built an on-location agricultural shed serving as protection for a bulldozer with ripper, three tractors (Landini, Fiat and Lamborghini), two seeders, tyres, disc plough, a vibrocultivator, a flail mower, automatic grain and legume huller, .

We received the acknowledgement as an NGO by the Benin government
