Sanuori
community is a cluster, comprising Kouebour, Koroyiri, Sanuori itself averaging
34 households. It is one of the early farmer settlers within the Eduola
jurisdiction. They are also part of the lager “brifo” group, but distinct from
the people of Wechaubour, their closest neighbors. According to them, they come
from farinsi, i.e. from one of the
neighboring French speaking countries. They came to their present settlement in
search for peace and farming land.
Sanuori, is
situated to the eastern corridor of Ga town at a distance about 7 miles. The
immediate neighbors are Wechaubour, Manyeyiri and Nyoli settlements. Their
belief systems and religious practices are very not different from the most
other ”brifos”.
Farming is
their main occupation settlement of “brifo” origin. Livestock keeping, poultry,
and piggery are other forms of agriculture being practiced. Their women also
engage in Sheabutter and dawadwa processing, and petty trading to support
household incomes.
The people
of this settler farmer community are hardworking yet they lack a lot of basics
in life. Child labor, teenage marriages, high school drop outs especially among
girls, and rampant rural drift among boys are common phenomena in the Sanuori
cluster. There is only one borehole serving the entire community. Cow boys
during dry season have to travel several kilometers to Ga for the animals to
drink.
The
community has high hopes in the youth to turn their fortunes round. They
believe that youth empowerment is crucial in drawing them out of poverty,
ignorance and disease.
