Nourishing Lives, Empowering Communities!
No Hunger Initiatives aka No Hunger Food Bank (NHFB) is a registered national non-governmental organization dedicated to providing food assistance, empowering vulnerable communities, preventing food waste & loss, delivering hunger relief, and improving food & nutrition security while promoting environmental sustainability. The No Hunger Food Bank’s (NHFB), objective are based on three strategic pillars - Food banking, Empowerment and Policy Support. NHFB deploys food banking models to source food while leveraging circularity and environmental sustainability principles to reduce food loss and waste on farms and at home. At No Hunger Food Bank, we are committed to eradicating hunger by partnering with local and international organizations, farmers etc. to rescue surplus food from waste. We engage our communities and food value chain actors, inspiring and empowering individuals and families to work toward hunger-free communities. We prioritize compassion, integrity, collaboration, empowerment, sustainability, and inclusivity.
Our goals include providing immediate food relief, raising awareness about hunger, empowering communities through skills training, promoting sustainable agriculture, and building partnerships. Ultimately, we aim to ensure no one faces hunger while fostering resilience and self-sufficiency in the communities we serve.
We conduct evidence-based research to better understand the root causes of 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.
