Agriculture and plantation is a normal phenomenal issue at rural areas and community members will not find any difficulties in implementing an additional plant to their scope of work. The plantation of the Moringa tree will provide them with free access to nutritional food at no costs.
A couple of prominent specialized local universities had accepted the idea and a demonstration farm has been established at one of them, for animal fodder (Dowaim University of Agriculture). The other university which is specialized in nutritional issues has satisfied their studies from the existing plantation site of the company (10,000 mature trees) Ahfad College for Girls (Nutrition Department).
Funding of physical visits to different sites:
The main problem is reaching the different destinations of the rural communities. The vast area of the country consumes much of the instructor's time. As it is early to generate monies to meet the instructor's overheads, most of the presentations were made voluntarily and at the minimal costs.
Presentation materials: Visual aids and printing literature.
Physically visited various rural areas over a period of 02 years and introduced the plantation issue to local governmental bodies.
Been to the Southern region of Sudan where a 20 years of war took place for a couple of times and met members of the authorities who welcomed the notion and asked to present it to their to the local communities. The lack of financial resources stranded the action.
2010 Introduction of the project will be met with success as it would enlighten the public rural people of its benefits. The first year will be for passing the information and distribution of seeds and seedlings. The lecturing will be held at large concentration areas as the Moringa Tree gets to the mature situation in 08 eight months.
2011 the grown up trees will emphasize their benefits as mature trees and acceptance of their taste and easiness of cultivating their produce. The second year will be monitoring the development of the trees, taking care of them and monitoring the consumption.
2012 The usage of the seeds to purify the dirty waters and the use of the seed’s oil will encourage the members of the communities to plant more trees to increase their incomes. The third year will be for passing the commercial opportunities for the produce of the Moringa Tree's bi-products.

A non-monetary partnership with the international specialized aid providers (such as the WFP) would benefit the project as such organizations are already seeking solutions for providing essential nutritional support to rural communities.
When we approached them they informed us that they need direct and specific instructions from their head office in Rome. The can not decide by themselves as it needs budgetary and administrative efforts.
They would help us in spreading the information by allowing us to introduce the issue through their working staff at the different locations.
Establishing local nurseries for growing seedlings.
Gathering community members at one of the local schools and introducing the Moringa Plant.

32. What was the defining moment that led you to this innovation? (400 words or fewer): Once I found that this organization is encouraging people to introduce new methods of fighting poverty among the poor I decided to participate by introducing this project.
The simplicity of the project and the minimal care required had fortified the attempt to enable the poor to access real nutritional food supplies at no-cost to them.
