Sumah revealed that the organization is currently operating in other areas across the country. According to him, this is to ensure food sufficiency in the shortest possible time.

Locals thanked the Foundation for Development and called for more supports. According to them, they have always wanted to farm but they have not been getting support. Some of the problems they highlighted are lack of finance, tools, food and seeds.
