To improve the living standards of the Sierra Leonean populace, Safer Future Youth Development Project does not only concentrate on providing young people with the required life skills needed to make a meaningful living, but also promotes agricultural development programmes. These programmes ensure basic food production for the poorest member of the community to be able to affordably sustain life and promote sound health and growth.

In 1994, Safer Future was able to acquire 31 acres (around 12 hectares) of farm land in Nyangba Town, Koya Rural District, about 25 km away from Allen Town.

The farm offers two main opportunities to residents in the region: firstly, students of the  Vocational Institute pursing an education in Basic Agriculture are able to apply  their knowledge on the farm, obtaining practical hands-on experience; secondly, the crops grown on the farm are sold as a means of covering the running costs of the project, thus ensuring its sustainability.

A farming house with dormitories and a classroom for residential training was constructed in 1997/98; in 2004,  a kitchen and  sanitary building were erected.

An Agriculture Officer and two assistants cultivate the vegetable and other perennial crops, including cassava, groundnuts, cashew nuts, mangoes, coconuts, pineapples, sweet potatoes, pepper and garden eggs.

Work on the farm is difficult due to a shortage of mechanical tools. Additionally, temperatures are very hot, soil conditions are poor, widespread overgrowth of the bush and a lack of sufficient irrigation creates many challenges to the running of the farm. Step by step, however, the project is developing and improving and the harvest has been consistently increasing each year.

A new animal husbandry initiative has begun, including the rearing of goats, rabbits and chickens. There are dual benefits to this scheme as the manure from the farm animals is used as fertilizer to improve the otherwise nutrient-poor and sandy soil.

Students from the first “Rural and Electronic Workshop”, which offers training in Basic Electronics and Solar Engineering,  resided at the farm from February to August 2006 there are a   workshops planned in the near future.
