On April 15th, 2024, the AAA Global Care Foundation made a brief stop at a place in Prague where underserved people congregate. Pastor Yomi handed out some snacks and shared a few words. The snacks were gratefully received and brightened everyone’s day, particularly as it was cold and windy. The video below shows Pastor Yomi distributing items from the back of his car.

We have an important update regarding our Rice for Nigeria project. Originally, we planned to complete additional distributions in March, finalizing this phase of the project. Unfortunately, due to a lack of funds, we have not been able to proceed as scheduled. We are now aiming to complete this vital work in May.
Our goal is to purchase fifty 50-kilo bags of rice, totaling 2500 kilos. Each bag costs about 90,000 Naira (approximately $120 USD), which means we need about $6,000 USD to meet our target. Recent economic changes have significantly impacted our mission: the cost of rice in Nigeria has roughly doubled in the last year due to inflation and a ban on rice importation. This not only makes our mission more expensive but also more crucial, as many more families, especially in rural and slum areas, are in a worse situation now than they were just a year ago.
The rice will be repackaged into smaller 3 to 5 kg bags, along with spices, for distribution to those in need. If you’ve been considering supporting this cause, now is the perfect time to donate. Our volunteers are ready and passionate about continuing their work, eager to help distribute these essential supplies. However, we urgently need additional funds to purchase the rice and spices. Your support can directly enable us to move forward with our distributions. Please consider making a donation today to help us continue this essential project. See our past videos and events for more insights into our work.
Máme důležitou aktualizaci týkající se našeho projektu Rýže pro Nigérii. Původně jsme plánovali dokončit další distribuce v březnu a tím ukončit tuto fázi projektu. Bohužel kvůli nedostatku financí se nám nepodařilo pokračovat podle plánu. Nyní cílíme na dokončení této životně důležité práce v květnu.
Naším cílem je zakoupit padesát 50kilogramových pytlů rýže, což celkem činí 2500 kilogramů. Cena každého pytle je přibližně 90 000 naira (asi 120 USD), takže potřebujeme asi 6 000 USD, abychom dosáhli našeho cíle. Nedávné ekonomické změny výrazně ovlivnily naši misi: cena rýže v Nigérii se za poslední rok zhruba zdvojnásobila kvůli inflaci a zákazu dovozu rýže. To nejen že zdražuje naši misi, ale také ji činí důležitější, protože mnoho rodin, zejména v venkovských a chudinských oblastech, je nyní v horší situaci než před rokem.
Rýže bude přebalena do menších 3 až 5kilogramových pytlů společně s kořením pro distribuci těm, kteří ji potřebují. Pokud jste uvažovali o podpoře této příčiny, nyní je ten pravý čas přispět. Naši dobrovolníci jsou připraveni a vášnivě chtějí pokračovat ve své práci, jsou nadšení pomoci distribuovat tyto zásadní zásoby. Avšak naléhavě potřebujeme další finanční prostředky na nákup rýže a koření. Vaše podpora může přímo umožnit pokračování našich distribucí. Prosím, zvažte dnes darování a pomozte nám pokračovat v tomto životně důležitém projektu. Pro další
On April 13th, the AAA Global Care Foundation, in partnership with the Prague Foodbank, hosted a significant event at the Albert Hypermarket in Harfa Gallery, located in Prague 9. Pastor Yomi and his team, dressed in AAA Global Care Foundation t-shirts and green aprons marked „Grocery Collection“, engaged shoppers by distributing flyers. They encouraged the addition of items such as rice, long-life milk, sanitary supplies, and more, to their purchases for donation. This was just a part of the broader range of essential items needed. The community’s response was overwhelmingly positive, with many filling carts with these vital goods.
From 8 AM to 6 PM, the team managed to collect approximately 1000 kg of food and essential supplies. These included not only the items listed but also other staples such as pasta, sugar, and baby supplies, all of which will be organized and distributed to needy families across Prague in the upcoming months.
This event is one of our four annual initiatives designed to garner community support and accumulate essential supplies for the less fortunate. The detailed flyers ensured that donations were well-directed and critically needed. Join us at our next event to help make a significant impact in our community!
Dne 13. dubna pořádala Nadace AAA Global Care ve spolupráci s Pražskou potravinovou bankou akci v Albert Hypermarket v obchodním centru Harfa v Praze 9. Pastor Yomi a jeho tým, oblečení do triček Nadace AAA Global Care a zelených zástěr s nápisem „Sbírka Potravin“, oslovili nákupčí, kteří byli vyzváni, aby k jejich nákupům přidali položky jako rýže, trvanlivé mléko, hygienické potřeby a další, které tvořily jen část širšího spektra nezbytných potřeb. Odezva komunity byla ohromující, s mnoha nákupčími, kteří naplnili vozíky těmito klíčovými zbožími.
Akce trvala od 8:00 do 18:00, během které tým shromáždil přibližně 1000 kg jídla a základních potřeb, včetně dalších základních potravin jako těstoviny, cukr a potřeby pro děti. Tyto položky budou organizovány a distribuovány rodinám v nouzi po celé Praze v následujících měsících.
Tato iniciativa je jednou ze čtyř ročních akcí, které jsou zaměřeny na mobilizaci komunitní podpory a shromáždění nezbytných zásob pro méně šťastné. Podrobné letáky zajistily, že dary byly vhodně směrované a kriticky potřebné. Připojte se k nám na příští akci a pomozte udělat významný rozdíl ve vaší komunitě!

On April 5, 2024, the AAA Global Care Foundation visited the homeless camp along the Vltava river in Prague, bringing essential supplies to those in need. The team distributed cooking utensils, such as pots and pans, as well as groceries including rice and cooking oil.
This area by the river is a semi-permanent home for many who live in shared tents for shelter. The residents manage their day-to-day lives by cooking outdoors and doing their laundry in the open, maintaining a sense of community and resilience despite the hardships. The foundation’s visit helped to support their basic needs and draw attention to their situation.
Dne 5. dubna 2024 navštívila Nadace AAA Global Care tábor bezdomovců u řeky Vltavy v Praze a přivezla zásadní zásoby pro ty, kteří je potřebují. Tým rozdělil kuchyňské náčiní jako hrnce a pánve, společně s potravinami jako rýže a kuchyňský olej.
Tato oblast u řeky je polostálým domovem pro mnohé, kteří žijí ve sdílených stanech jako útočiště. Obyvatelé se starají o své každodenní potřeby vařením na otevřeném ohni a praním prádla venku, udržují si tak pocit společenství a odolnost přes všechny nesnáze. Návštěva nadace pomohla podpořit jejich základní potřeby a přitáhla pozornost k jejich situaci.
On April 3, 2024, the AAA Global Care Foundation conducted their routine visit to a homeless centre, guided by Pastor Yomi Akinyemi. They distributed items such as chocolate, bread, ham, Fruits and Fuze drinks with lemonade and lemongrass flavour. The distribution was successful, leaving the homeless individuals feeling satisfied and expressing heartfelt gratitude. There is a video of the event below.
On March 22nd and 26th, Pastor Yomi Akinyemi, representing AAA Global Care Foundation, took it upon himself to distribute groceries to homeless individuals. Today, March 26th, 2024, he continued his compassionate efforts, dressed in his characteristic attire of a cap and jacket, as he provided essential items and drinks to those in need. Witnessing his selfless actions, the homeless community expressed deep gratitude. At Vltavska metro station, Pastor Akinyemi, along with a team of medical professionals, attended to a large group of homeless individuals, offering medical care to the sick and injured. Support AAA Global Care Foundation in their mission to create a more compassionate world.
As an alumnus of the Prague University of Economics and Business, I had the pleasure of returning to the institution where I completed my master’s degree in 1985. I was warmly received by the current Dean, doc. Ing. Martina Jirankova, Ph.D., and the Vice Dean, doc. Ing. Josef Tauser, Ph.D., for a meeting on the 29th of November, 2023.
The occasion was a special one as the university had just celebrated its 70th anniversary. Although my visit was not directly connected to the anniversary events, it was a chance to engage with the leadership of the faculty and discuss ways that the university and AAA Global Care Foundation can work together in the future.
Last week, from March 4th to 9th, Pastor Akinyemi and AAA Global Care Foundation took to the streets of Prague for a direct mission: to distribute food to the homeless. Their operation was simple – using their personal car, they provided oranges and packaged food to those in need across Prague’s districts 1, 5, 7, and 13.
These areas are recognized as common meeting points for the city’s homeless community, and the pastor frequently visits these locations. The aim was to offer a bit of comfort in the form of nutritious food. Oranges, a healthy source of vitamins, and various packaged goods could make a small but meaningful difference in the lives of individuals who often go without.
The efforts of the week were captured in a video montage, highlighting the quiet yet impactful work done by the AAA Global Care Foundation. The focus was on practical help, extending a hand in a time of need.
This initiative is part of an ongoing and regular effort to support and connect with the homeless community in Prague. By maintaining a humble approach, the foundation hopes to not only provide immediate assistance but also to build trust and relationships with those they serve.
After providing a homeless couple with groceries, Pastor Akinyemi assisted them to the metro, adding a personal touch to the day’s food distribution efforts in Prague.
On January 25, 2024, the AAA Global Care Foundation hosted a significant event in Makoko, Lagos, starting before dawn at 5 am. Our day began with a visit to the bustling fish market in Makoko, a vital part of the community. While there, we captured a video showcasing the vibrant market life, though it doesn’t include our meeting with the Women’s leader where we introduced our team and discussed our mission. This video is available below for a glimpse into the local atmosphere.
Following our market visit, we used loudspeakers to communicate our purpose and share a message about the gospel of Jesus with the broader community. The main event was distributing 3kg bags of rice and spices to hundreds of residents. The feedback was extremely positive, with many people expressing their thanks for the support.
As the distribution concluded, the atmosphere turned celebratory. One of our volunteers led the crowd in gospel songs, sparking spontaneous dancing and smiles among the participants. It was a joyous end to a day filled with giving and gratitude.
This effort underscored the importance of supporting each other and the impact small gestures can have on a community. We extend our deepest thanks to all involved, from the volunteers and donors to the residents of Makoko, for making this event a success. A special mention goes to the Women’s leader for helping us connect with the community.
At the end of this post, you’ll find the video from the fish market, offering a look into the daily life of Makoko and setting the stage for our day of distribution and connection.
