Soumya Saxena, Business Head our Grains Business in Ghana, said: "Education and skills development are critical for breaking the cycle of poverty. By providing opportunities for these children to learn valuable skills, we hope to inspire them to pursue their dreams and contribute positively to their communities". #OlamAgri #BigBakerProject #SocialImpact #CommunityEmpowerment

In 2020, the Sangha Music School was born, thanks to the generosity of Tom Bedel and C.F. Martin & Co - longtime partners of Olam Agri’s Wood Business, Congolaise Industrielle des Bois (CIB). Their donation of acoustic guitars wasn’t just about instruments; it was about unlocking the transformative power of music for the Pokola community. Today, the Sangha Music School is more than a music institution - it’s a sanctuary. It’s where individuals discover their voices, build a sense of purpose, and create inspiring connections that uplift the entire community. This initiative reflects our commitment to creating sustainable, positive impacts in the regions where we operate. 🎥 Watch the video to see how the joy of music is transforming lives in Pokola. https://lnkd.in/gnyFB8iN #OlamAgri #Sustainability #CommunityEmpowerment #MusicForChange Ashish Malik Vincent Istace

Through our Safe Water Project, we are taking significant strides to improve access to clean and safe drinking water in our farming communities across Nigeria. With the support of our donors, we have begun deploying GoFlow water purifiers across 12 communities in Kano, Jigawa, Nasarawa, and Kaduna States with unimproved water sources. Once fully deployed, this initiative will directly benefit over 43,000 people, creating lasting positive change. The impact of this project is already evident: ✔️ More time saved for women, who no longer have to travel long distances to fetch clean water. ✔️ Improved farmer incomes as healthier families can focus more on productive activities. ✔️ Reduced waterborne diseases, leading to better overall health and well-being.
