Nigeria faces rising food insecurity, with over 26 million people projected to face hunger in 2025. Families living on low incomes spend most of their earnings on food, yet still go without daily meals. This project will supply food packs of rice, beans, oil, and maize flour to 2,500 families. With prices climbing and incomes shrinking, urgent support is needed now to prevent hunger, malnutrition, and the long-term health risks that come from food shortages.
High inflation and currency decline in Nigeria have driven food prices to record levels. Families on low incomes, many living below $2 per day, cannot afford staple items. Children often skip meals or rely on unsafe substitutes, leading to malnutrition and poor health. Urban slum households and rural poor are the hardest hit, with women and children most exposed to hunger and its long-lasting consequences.
This project will deliver food packs directly to 2,500 families identified through local community groups. Each pack includes rice, beans, maize flour, and cooking oil-staples that can sustain a household for a week. Distribution will be done monthly, focusing on families with children, the elderly, and persons living with disability. By placing food in homes, the project will reduce hunger and give families a chance to redirect limited income to school fees, rent, or medicine.
Access to steady food supplies reduces hunger, malnutrition, and related illness among low-income families. Children with adequate meals are more likely to attend school and grow stronger, while parents gain relief from the stress of daily food shortages. Subsequently, household health and stability improve, and families become more capable of meeting other needs. The project provides an immediate lifeline while strengthening families for future recovery.
