Care For Healthy Life Initiative

Summary This project will support the poorest families in Anambra State, to start small businesses. About 25 million people out of the over 200 million living in Nigeria, are experiencing hunger. Factors such as climate change, poverty, insecurity and conflicts which has made it difficult for farmers to access their lands, are the major contributors. Many families can't afford one meal a day, talk more of three and this affects their health, especially children who face malnutrition and possible death. Challenge Many families in Nigeria today are on the brink of starvation. Before now, low-income families manage to eat twice daily, but that is now a luxury they can't afford. A hungry person is an angry person and hunger can push people into a life of crime, superstition, prostitution etc. Hunger can hinder a child's access to education through malnutrition, as malnourished children often have reduced energy and focus. At events, people scramble for foods to eat and also take home for their families. Solution We will support these families to start up small businesses or grow the ones they already have, in order to be able to feed properly and also take good care of themselves. Long-Term Impact These families will have a source of livelihood and be able to provide for themselves. Addressing hunger is a key goal of international development efforts, as reducing hunger will contribute to progress on multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including those related to health, education, and poverty reduction.

Summary This project will support orphanages and rehabilitation centers in Nnewi and it's environs with food items and other essential needs, in order to take good care of the children therein. HIV/AIDS pandemic, insurgency and COVID-19 has produced millions of orphans and vulnerable children in Nigeria, who are left to experience untold economic hardship, lack of love, withdrawal from school, poor health, poor nutrition etc. Without financial provisions, the future of these children is at stake. Challenge It is estimated that there are about 17.5 million orphans and vulnerable children in Nigeria. Children in the orphanages and rehabilitation centers, miss the love and care from their parents and rely on the support and food items from individuals and corporate organizations to keep living. They face a lot of challenges such as lack of access to quality education, poor nutrition, poor access to healthcare, inadequate clothing and lack of psychosocial support, hence the need to support them. Solution We will visit all the orphanages and rehabilitation centers in Nnewi and it's environs, to provide them with food items and other necessities in order to make sure that the children therein, are properly taken care of just like their counterparts at home. Long-Term Impact These children will continue to feed properly and also have other essential needs that is required for them to continue enjoying life, just like their counterparts who are at home with their parents.
