About
Suudu Baaba Foundation
Suudu Baaba Foundation (SBF) is a community based, Non-Political, Non-sectional, Philanthropic, Non-Governmental Organization formed in 2017 but legally registered in March 2018 with the Office of the Registrar of Companies by the Ashanti Regional Chief of Fulani who is also and the National Vice President of the Fulani Chiefs in Ghana after the demise of his elder brother in November 2017.
The formation of this organization as a result of the efforts by the Chief of Fulani (Fulbe) to integrate, they are often reminded that they are strangers who do not belong to the community. They are not allowed to exercise their basic rights such as participating in gatherings, National Identification (NHIA) Card, National Health Insurance (NHIS) cards, attain Voter’s Identification (EC) card and are not allowed to vote even in district level elections, they are not allowed to access education. The Fulani community is largely presumed to be aliens and therefore subject to all manner of ridicule. Their right is always being trapped at and have nowhere to go, their cattle’s are killed and sometimes their lives are also at risk in the slightest incidents between them and crop farmers. The Fulani therefore are not identified as community members though they have stayed in the area for a long time. The local community is indifferent to the younger Fulani’s who have been born in the area and have no other place of origin.
