Kafanchan town in Kaduna State, famous for its railway station in the 80s, is now becoming famous for hosting the Fantsuam Foundation (FF), thanks to the efforts of a couple, Prof. and Mrs. John Dada who left the comfort of city life to settle in the rural area to pursue their passion and dream – integrated rural development.
