As we welcome this new month, let's embrace the opportunity for fresh beginnings and set inspiring goals. Take a moment to reflect on your achievements so far and plan for the adventures ahead. Let's fill this month with positivity, joy, and memorable experiences. Here’s to making July the best month yet! #HappyNewMonth #FeedUpAfrica

Nigeria is grappling with a severe water and sanitation crisis. A 2022 UNICEF report revealed that 70% of water at the point of consumption is contaminated, highlighting a significant public health emergency. Shockingly, 3 in 10 Nigerians lack access to clean water near their homes, exposing them to constant risk from waterborne diseases. Children under five are the most vulnerable, with over 70,000 dying annually from diarrhoea caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. The ongoing cholera outbreak in Nigeria underscores the gravity of this crisis, directly linked to the consumption of contaminated water and poor sanitation.  This stark reality calls for urgent collective action and innovative solutions to address this critical threat to public health and quality of life. Access to safe water is a primary focus for FeedUp Africa. We are committed to providing innovative solutions to ensure the poorest and most marginalized communities have a steady supply of clean drinking water and improved sanitary conditions. It is a fundamental human right to have access to a clean water source free from faecal and priority chemical contamination.  We urgently call for a tenfold increase in water and climate finance to tackle this pressing issue. #CleanWaterForAll #PublicHealth #InvestInWater #FeedUpAfrica

Today, we celebrate Nigeria's Democracy Day, a momentous occasion that marks our journey towards freedom, unity, and the relentless pursuit of justice. Let us honor the resilience and determination of all Nigerians who have fought and continue to strive for a more inclusive and prosperous nation. As we reflect on our progress and challenges, may we be inspired to contribute positively to our democracy and uphold the values of fairness, equity, and peace. Together, we can build a brighter future for generations to come. Happy Democracy Day, Nigeria! #DemocracyDay #UnityInDiversity #ProgressAndPeace

On this World Environment Day, we must take action to protect and revive our ecosystems. The threats to ecosystems are real, and it's essential that we proactively implement solutions. Climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution are endangering our ecosystems, disproportionately affecting rural communities, smallholder farmers, and the most vulnerable populations. Through active participation in land restoration, desertification prevention, and drought resilience enhancement, we can effectively mitigate climate change, preserve nature, and enhance the livelihoods and food security of billions of people worldwide. Collectively, let’s combat climate change and restore our land for the future. #WorldEnvironmentDay #GenerationRestoration #OurLandOurFuture

🎉🌍 Happy Africa Day! 🌍🎉   Today, we celebrate the rich history and vibrant cultures of our beautiful continent.

Together, we can create a brighter, more prosperous Africa.   #AfricaDay2024 #TheAfricaWeWant #21stCenturyEducation #EmpowerYouth #AfricaRising #FeedUpAfrica

More than 1 billion people in Africa struggle to afford a healthy diet. Hunger trends in the continent show that progress over the decades has abruptly reversed (World Vision). Ensuring food security for everyone is more critical today than ever, as external factors (climate crisis, political instability, etc.) increasingly impact the health and productivity of society. In this knowledge series, we introduce the main concepts of food security.  Swipe to learn more and join the conversation on how we can make a difference! #FoodSecurity #EndHunger #HealthyDiet #SustainableFuture #FeedUpAfrica

About 79 percent of Nigerian farmers were estimated to have been affected by the effects of drought and flooding in 2021, based on analysis from SBM Intel. This is because climate change continues to pose significant challenges to Nigeria’s agricultural sector resulting in higher food prices, loss of livelihoods, hunger, and malnutrition. The imperative for adopting climate-smart agriculture practices cannot be overstated. These methods can help feed our growing population, enhance food security, and increase farmers' incomes. At FeedUp Africa, we're dedicated to supporting farmers and agribusinesses with practical knowledge of climate-smart agriculture. Join us to make Nigeria and Africa food secure. #ClimateAction #SustainableFarming #FoodSecurity  #ClimateSmartAgriculture #FeedUpAfrica

As we celebrate Worker's Day, let's take a moment to reflect on the remarkable contributions made by workers in various sectors. From agriculture to healthcare and finance, workers have been the backbone of society's growth and development. We admire your exceptional work ethic, dedication, and passion, which have been instrumental in driving growth, progress, and development. Let us join hands in championing workers' rights and ensure that they are accorded the dignity and respect they deserve. #InternationalWorkersDay #FeedUpAfrica

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Segunfunmi Foods, our partner in the Child Nutrition Outreach, for their invaluable collaboration and contribution to the success of the program. Held on Thursday, April 18th, in commemoration of the 2024 Global Child Nutrition Month, the outreach played a crucial role in disseminating essential knowledge on child nutrition to mothers and caregivers at the Ofada Primary Health Centre in Ogun State. Thanks to the generous support of Segunfunmi Foods, our beneficiaries received granola packs, enhancing their access to nutritious food options. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the food and beverage industry, such as Segunfunmi Foods, play a pivotal role in promoting food security and nutrition in Nigeria. Therefore, it is imperative to create an enabling environment for their growth and success. Once again, we extend our sincere appreciation to Segunfunmi Foods, founded by Funmilola Moronke Agbayewa, for their commitment to advancing the cause of a healthy society. #GlobalChildNutritionMonth #ChildHealth #MaternalHealth #ZeroHunger #GoodHealthAndWellbeing #CommunityNutrition
