Catch Them Young: Nourish Nigeria's Future Leaders

Thank you for your generous donation to feed 5000 children on their children's charity day. Contributions like yours are continuing to make a difference. They are supporting Sam Onyemaechi humanitarian Foundation's response efforts and delivering crucial help and hope to people in need amid hostilities, constant stress, and difficult conditions away from home.

Besides, On the 21st of October 2022, Sam Onyemaechi Humanitarian Foundation received a grant of $20 000 through GlobalGiving from one of their corporate partners, Corteva, to Fight hunger and insecurity in Southeast, Nigeria.

We cannot but express our sincere heart of appreciation for your generosity towards our cause in feeding 5000 children on their children's charity day.

We channeled this grant into our project causes:
a) Fighting hunger and food insecurity in Southeast, Nigeria,

b) Food processing and packaging machine

c) Post- covid-19 recovery package

d) Training 3k widows in snail farming in Southeast, Nigeria,

e) Mentoring 5000 women Entrepreneurs in Southeast, Nigeria

f) Expedite young-adult empowerment initiative in Southeast

g) Give succour and Refuge to the poor and homeless.

h) help fight climate action in s/east nigeria,

i) Feed 5000 children on their children's charity day,

j) Send a child to school in the rural southeast,

We tried to make sure that this grant is used judiciously in all areas to fight hunger and food insecurity and to enhance their living standard.

We procured Equipment for food processing and packaging and this received the greater chunk of the grant. We discovered that buying more equipment for food processing and packaging machines will benefit a lot from the sustainability and financial stability of the organization. Whatever the proceeds, will be channeled towards fighting hunger and food insecurity and other areas that touches life and enhance living standards. We used 35% of the grant in providing equipment to produce more food so as to fight hunger and food insecurity in the southeast.

Below is how we receive money and how it was used.

The project was implemented in the rural communities in Southeast and south west. The direct beneficiaries are vulnerable and malnourished children and rural communities. With your support, we reached a greater number of children about 5000 in population on their children's day.

However, due to high inflation in the market and high rate of poverty in the country especially in Nigeria, we were able to manage the resources within our reach to carry out our humanitarian assistance.

Nevertheless, A lot of children faced with hunger and malnutrition, limited access to education and other basic services, social discrimination and exclusion as well as the lack of participation in decision-making.

Our objective in feeding programs is to empower them and give them proper nutrition to go on with their everyday lives and be more responsible students; eventually helping them aspire to a brighter future.
