A World of Hunger

Poverty, hunger, slavery and bad governance are not natural — they are human-made. A lot of children go home daily on an empty stomach because they do not have food to eat, and yet some of us have in excess to the point that we even throw them away.

No child should be allowed to go to bed or even go hungry.

First Location

Hope in the Slum

Makoko, Iwaya, Yaba — May 27, 2019

The event coincided with the birthday of the Founder/Principal Promoter, Engr. Gerald Azonobo, who took the opportunity to thank God for his life as well as to put smiles on the children numbering about 500 who were fed and presented with gifts.

"Your present status does not define who you are. It's you that define who you want to be. Be obedient to your parents and teachers, shun all forms of vices, focus on your studies and you will tomorrow get your family out of poverty."

— Engr. Gerald Azonobo, Founder

Pep Talk by Francis Chilaka (Program Director)

Keep Up The Hope — hope should be their driving force. Hope that they will become successful tomorrow.

Modupe Cole Memorial Home, Akoka, Yaba

The children at the Modupe Cole Memorial Home for Physically and Mentally Challenged Children were not left out. The home, with approximately 100 students, is located on St. Finbarrs Road, Akoka, Yaba.

Mr. Azonobo, with tears in his eyesafter taking a tour of the facility, donated food and sanitary items and promised the Foundation's continued support. Some works done by the children were bought on behalf of the foundation.
