Archiv štítků: Rice For Nigeria

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.

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 the 29th January 2024 AAA Global Care Foundation recently made a trip to the IDP Camp in Abagena, Makurdi, Nigeria.

IDP stands for Internal Displacement Camp. It’s a place where people go when they have to leave their homes because of violence or the threat of violence. These people often arrive with nothing.

Volunteers from the AAA Global Care Foundation drove from Kaduna to the camp with a Toyota full of supplies like rice, beans, and spices. They teamed up with local volunteers to give out these supplies. They organized the event carefully to make sure everyone received their packages smoothly.

In the video shared, you’ll notice a lot of women and children, and fewer men. Many of the women are widows, lost their husbands to recent violence. It’s also clear that a lot of people are wearing worn-out clothes because they don’t have anything else to wear.

Even though the situation is tough, the mood in the camp was surprisingly positive, with many smiles around. The volunteers handed out hundreds of packages, each with enough food for about 10 meals, helping each family for a few days.

The interaction between the volunteers and the camp residents was touching. It showed that kindness and support during hard times are valuable, offering hope and a sense of community.

Watch the video and look at the photos below.

In a heart warming extension of its outreach, the AAA Global Care Foundation, under the visionary leadership of Yomi Akinyemi, has broadened the scope of its „RICE FOR NIGERIA“ project by reaching out to Agege, a challenging suburb and local government area in the Ikeja Division of Lagos State, Nigeria.

The „RICE FOR NIGERIA“ project is a testament to the foundation’s dedication to making a tangible difference in the lives of many. By addressing basic needs, the foundation is laying the groundwork for more significant change – one where education and motivation can take root and flourish.

Residents of Agege received the team with open arms, their faces lighting up with smiles as they accepted the packages of rice. These moments were captured in heartfelt photos, showcasing the real impact of the foundation’s work.

Yomi Akinyemi, the founder, expressed his joy and commitment to the cause: “Our work in Agege today marks a significant milestone in our journey. We are not just distributing food; we are sowing seeds of hope and laying the foundation for a better tomorrow.
