Community Food Distribution
2025-02-22 | Yobe State, Yobe State, Yobe, Nigeria
We had the immense privilege of hosting the Temporary Food Assistance Program (TFAP) at Government Day Junior Secondary School in Dazigau, Nangere LG, Yobe State, Nigeria. This heartwarming initiative brought together our community to provide warm, cooked meals for displaced children who have faced unimaginable hardships.
In a community where so many struggle for necessities, we came together to ensure that these incredible kids felt the warmth of compassion and care. Each plate served was more than just food; it was a symbol of hope, resilience, and solidarity. Seeing the smiles on their faces as they savored every bite was a reminder of the strength of the human spirit.
This event was not just about nourishment; it was about creating a safe space where these children could experience joy and comfort, even in the face of adversity. Together, we are planting the seeds of hope, reminding them that they are not alone on this journey.

It was an extraordinary milestone at the Durumi IDP Camp in Abuja, Nigeria, as we launched the second phase of our Vertical Backyard Farming for Family Nutrition Needs (VERT2FAMNN)! Supported by No Hunger Food Bank and the Australian High Commission, Nigeria, this project is transforming lives and fostering self-sufficiency among female-headed households. With heartfelt dedication, we equipped these resilient women with essential agricultural tools, including vertical planters, watering cans, seeds, decomposed soil, stalks, and various garden tools. Our aim? To empower them to cultivate their farms, ensuring they can nourish their families and achieve food security. The event was a vibrant celebration of knowledge and community, featuring full-day training sessions designed to equip our beneficiaries with the skills they need to thrive. From hands-on gardening techniques to sustainable farming practices, every moment was infused with hope and inspiration. A heartfelt vote of thanks was delivered by one of the women beneficiaries in Hausa, beautifully translated by Baba Idris Aliyu, the esteemed coordinator and spokesman of the Abuja-based IDP camps and a cherished resident of Durumi IDP Camp:

Translation: “On behalf of the beneficiaries, she expressed her gratitude to No Hunger Food Bank and the Australian High Commission, Nigeria, they are extremely happy about this initiative and say that they can not express their joy enough, God bless No Hunger Food Bank, God Bless the Australian High Commission, Nigeria, and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We thank you for this gift you have brought us. This program will help us achieve food security and bring positive change.

Together, we are sowing the seeds of change, nurturing not just plants, but the dreams and aspirations of these incredible women. Let’s continue to uplift one another and create a future where every family can enjoy the fruits of their labor! Thank you to everyone involved in making this initiative a reality. Your support is vital in our mission to eradicate hunger and empower communities.

Introduction The Vertical Backyard Farming project, held in Karon Majigi, Abuja, marks the initiation of a sustainable agriculture initiative aimed at enhancing food security and promoting environmentally friendly farming practices in urban settings. This project was carried out by No Hunger Initiatives, also known as No Hunger Food Bank, in collaboration with the Australian High Commission, Nigeria. The primary goal is to introduce innovative agricultural techniques while fostering community engagement. On the 8th of February 2025, our team delivered vertical planters to the Karounmajiji PWD camp, located on Airport Road, Abuja. The Karounmajiji PWD camp is home to many individuals who have been displaced due to conflict and disaster. The vertical planters are designed to provide a sustainable solution for food production and improve the overall well-being of the camp residents.

The Vertical Backyard Farming project in Karon Majigi and the recent delivery of vertical planters to the Karounmajiji IDP camp represent significant steps toward sustainable urban agriculture in Nigeria. With the support of No Hunger Initiatives and the Australian High Commission, this initiative has the potential to transform local communities by enhancing food security, promoting healthy eating, and fostering sustainable practices. The successful delivery and installation of the vertical planters in the PWD camp highlight the project’s commitment to supporting vulnerable populations. Moving forward, it is crucial to address the challenges faced during this phase and explore opportunities for expansion and further community engagement. Recommendations 1. Continued Support: Provide ongoing support and resources to participants to ensure the sustainability of the vertical gardens. 2. Monitoring and Evaluation: Implement a monitoring system to assess the long-term impact of the project on food security and community empowerment. 3. Future Phases: Plan for additional phases that could include more extensive training, expansion to other communities, and integration of technology in farming practices.
