Building a stronger Saboba through community-driven development.

The SDCF Story

Planting seeds of resilience, harvesting hope for generations.

Saboba District Community Foundation was established through extensive community dialogue and shared vision to promote philanthropy, leadership and grant making. It is a district-wide community foundation registered in 2021 with the registration number CG207360821, formed and managed by the people of Saboba. It has an open membership for both present, past, and future residents. Through collaboration with traditional leaders, community groups, and development partners, the Foundation supports practical initiatives that improve living standards and promote long-term progress. SDCF remains dedicated to nurturing local leadership, mobilizing community resources, and building systems that enable Saboba to thrive with confidence and dignity

Building Saboba Together

SDCF was born out of a simple yet powerful belief: communities thrive best when they take ownership of their own development. For far too long, many rural communities, including Saboba, have relied heavily on external aid to address pressing social and economic challenges. While such support has been valuable, it often comes with limitations, leaving communities vulnerable when the aid cycle ends. Recognizing this, the people of Saboba embraced the concept of a community-owned foundation—a platform where local resources, knowledge, leadership, and collective action converge to drive long-term transformation.
