Feed for Life Foundation (formerly known as Blinkup Foundation)
was founded in 2014 to fight against child hunger in Nigeria. Since its
conception, the foundation has fed over 15,000 children.
In August 2018
alone, the foundation did not only feed 2000 residents of Oko Baba
Destitute Camp, but
they also hosted the maiden edition of their
empowerment program where they trained residents of Oko Baba Destitute
camp on skills they can use to earn a living so as to reduce the rate of
disabled beggars in Lagos state. At the end of the training, they gave
out startup capitals to dedicated trainees.
Feed for Life Back to School Project
is a 5-day outreach that would be taking place in both Lagos and Ogun
State. The project’s main aim is to reach out to underprivileged
students in selected primary and secondary schools in Lagos and Ogun
state. As you’d agree, going to school without appropriate materials is
waste of time. Most underprivileged students do not have materials to
enable them to study in school.
Every child is entitled to inclusive and equitable quality education
and supporting them with materials would motivate them to learn. Things
are tough generally, but things are tougher for children who want to
learn but don’t have materials to learn.
Back to School Project is
scheduled to start from January 21st and end January 25th, 2019. The
target students we will be reaching out to is 1000. Materials to be
given to students include but not limited to: Notebooks, textbooks,
school bags, pen, pencil, ruler, water bottle etc.
Beneficiaries include:
- Kingdom Royal Academy, Makoko (A free public school )
- Olambe Community School, Ogun State
- Emmanuel Home For The Deaf, Ogun State.
