Canadian charity
The Canadian Economic Development Assistance for South Sudan (CEDASS) is a privately funded Canadian registered charity and a registered NGO in South Sudan It was founded in 2005 by British entrepreneur David Tennant and other Canadian philanthropists.
The charity's goal was to disseminate modern farming techniques among the population of South Sudan. With support from President Salva Kiir, the organization set up in 2006 set a farm in Juba County (now Jubek State), named the Jebel Lado Farm Project after a nearby hillock (12 km to the west) that dominates the landscape. The farm is located at , about 28 km north by northeast from Juba and 12 km from Mongalla, between the White Nile and the Koda River, straddling the New and Old Juba-Yei roads.
As of 2011, the Jebel Lado farm had secured from the government a concession for 12,200 acres. From a 50-acre crop in 2008, it has expanded to 1,200 acres by 2018, including white corn, which is sold to the World Food Programme, along with sorghum, rice and vegetables. It has since added a school and a medical and health post, and partnered with the Israel-based Green Horizon project of the Global Group for management and security. As of 2018, the farm employed 50 permanent local farm workers and another 50 to 100 seasonal workers, mainly members of the Bari tribe.

Why this record matters
The phrase “canadian charity” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q65043571. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005, 2006, 2011 and 2008.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
