Our Mission
The Sika Development Fund (SDF) is dedicated to establishing a meaningful partnership aimed at fostering sustainable socioeconomic development and advancing social progress among its members. Our mission is to cultivate a strong sense of unity among the “Sikankos” — individuals from Sika and those with deep ties to the community, whether by heritage, marriage, or other affiliations. By promoting both individual and collective growth, we strive to enhance the overall prosperity and well-being of the Sikanko community.
