Welcome FieldEducation1 (120K)The Smallholders Foundation is a non-governmental organization which promotes sustainable agricultural development and environmental conservation beneficial to rural poor small farmers, through educational radio programs and on field practical demonstrations. Monthly Radio Competition by SMALLHOLDERS FOUNDATION and LISTEN AFRICA (HOSTED BY SMALLHOLDERS RADIO, RADIOS PROVIDED BY LISTEN AFRICA) Listen_africa (27K)Listen Africa is excited to establish a strategic alliance with Smallholders radio. The aim of Listen Africa is to encourage radio every way possible for change. One of the ways we will be encouraging radio among farmers and market people in Imo State is through our strategic partnership with Smallholders Foundation. We have agreed to jointly host radio competitions exclusively for listeners of Smallholders radio. The competition will kick start in January 2012 and Listen Africa will donate solar-powered and wind up radios covering all twelve months of the year. For a start, we will donate twelve radios for 2012, one radio per month [and per winner] The aim of this competition is to encourage participation/interaction in radio. Monthly winners of the competition will be selected by the Smallholders team. Criteria for winning could be entirely up to smallholders foundation Listen Africa cannot influence whom will win these competitions neither can we suggest how the Smallholders Foundation will chose to select the monthly winners. Smallholders foundation can decide to give out the radios to 'farmer of the month' or how best they chose. Having stated before, Listen Africa will donate 12 radios to Smallholders, but this is subject to change as our sponsorship gets better. In the same year, we might chose to upgrade to weekly competitions and donate more radios. Listen Africa might also donate portable radios[world receivers] for the young [high school] listeners and participants of smallholders radio and agricultural activities. From time to time, Listen Africa will chose to distribute radios to our target audience [the people Smallholders Foundation work with] on special occasions aside this competition. This is not herewith entailed, but shall communicate with smallholders, should we set out for this.
