We conduct evidence-based research to better understand the root causes of hunger, hidden hunger and the needs of vulnerable communities, so that our programs are targeted, effective, and continuously improved. Our work is implemented across communities throughout Nigeria especially the northern Nigeria where hunger is most prevalent. Our key programs are: Temporary Food Assistance Program (TFAP); Vertical Backyard Farming for Family Nutrition Needs (VERT2FAMNN); Balanced Resources for Academic Instruction and Nourishing School Meals (BRAIN); Climate-Smart Food Recovery & Nutrition Security (CSFRIEND) program and Support A Girl Child Back To School.

NHFB recovers and redistributes surplus food to vulnerable populations, particularly those in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps, under-resourced and marginalized communities across Nigeria. Since 2019, NHFB has rescued over 498,200kg of food and supported more than 36,200 households across Nigeria. Through programmes such as the Temporary Food Assistance Programme (TFAP), CSFRIEND, Community Breakfast, Empowering Communities, Support A Girl Child Back to School, among others, NHFB has provided meals to over 66,500 vulnerable children, supported by more than 96,000 hours of volunteer service.
