The Latest from Songhai

October 2026 | A Message from the President,
Songhai International, California, USA

 

Dear Friends of Songhai,

Our latest newsletter offers a wonderful reminder that Songhai is much more than a place where crops grow. It is a place where people learn, discover their potential, and build a better future for themselves and their communities.

In this issue, Father Nzamujo shares his inspiring reflections from the Climate Summit in Bhutan, reminding us of the importance of working with nature rather than against it. We also take a closer look at the remarkable things happening at Songhai, from the regeneration of the soil to the education and training that help young people develop the skills and resilience to succeed.

I hope these stories bring you a little closer to Songhai and the important work your friendship and generosity help make possible.

Thank you, as always, for your continued interest and support.

Susan Mattern
President, Songhai International

MORE THAN A FARM

What is Songhai?

 

Founded by Father Godfrey Nzamujo in 1984 and based in Porto-Novo, Benin, Songhai is an integrated center for sustainable agriculture, practical education, and innovation.

Its “waste to wealth” approach connects crop production, livestock, aquaculture, renewable energy, and soil regeneration. Resources from one activity are put to work in another, reducing waste and helping restore the land.

Just as importantly, Songhai trains young people in agriculture, technology, entrepreneurship, and leadership—helping them build opportunities for themselves and their communities.

Regenerative Agriculture

Working with natural systems to restore soils and produce food sustainably.

Education & Training

Practical skills that help young people become innovators and entrepreneurs.

Renewable Energy & Innovation

Solar power, biogas, and science serving self-reliant communities.
