John Dada
John is best known for his innovative community-development work as the director of Dadmac's sister organisation - Fantsuam Foundation (a voluntary role). In this short video John introduces Fantsuam Foundation. Fantsuam Foundation serves the needs of local communities over a wide rural area. It is also at the forefront of rural connectivity and relevant ICT (Information and Communication Technology). John has a holistic approach. This comes from responding to the needs of people, and the fact that people have all kinds of intertwined needs. His voluntary work means that he brings to Dadamac an extensive social network and a deep knowledge of rural realities.
Attachab Eco-village
John works in his home area of Kaduna State in North Central Nigeria. One of his plans is to bring together the various Fantsuam Foundation projects at a new eco-friendly site, Attachab Eco-village. He wants Attachab to become a showcase of good practice - a genuine community which is also a leading centre for research, development and training. Read more about Attachab in this blog. Attachab Eco-village and its related Knoweldge Resource Centre provide the sites for various Dadamac projects
Sharing knowledge and networks through Dadamac
People and organisations can use John's knowledge and connect with his networks through Dadamac. It is possible to work with him, and his team, at a distance or at the sites where he works. Through his voluntary work at Fantsuam Foundation John serves local needs. Through Dadamac he looks outward, enabling fresh initiatives from outside of Africa, in new win-win collaborations.
