Ndu Mayor Launches Small Money Big Change

The mayor of Ndu council, Abdou Borno Landon has distributed significant equipments and basic tools that could impact lives in the municipality. The Small Money Big Change project which is designed by councilors taking into consideration their needs in their various villages is expected to tackle small projects that are very important but too small for government funding. Prospects are high that the Small Money Big Change projects will  reach out to the needy and the poorest of the poor. Before handing over the tools and support materials, the mayor warned that they should be used for the purpose intended. The items were mostly made up of farm tools to ignite food sufficiency. 

After the symbolic handing over, it was the turn of the councilors to share the support to the direct beneficiaries. The Small Money, Big Change is mainly designed by councilors and is funded by the council.
