His Love Foundation, a CSR arm of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has rolled out plans to feed one million primary school pupils in Lagos.
This comes as a progression of their recent efforts, during which the foundation successfully provided meals to 8,954 children in 118 schools within Lagos for the third academic term.
According to HLF, 106,728,606 people have been fed globally through its various feeding initiative and in the 28 daily feeding centers in Lagos.
Speaking on the initiative, the Assistant Continental Overseer, and the Intercontinental Overseer CSR, Pastor Idowu Iluyomade, noted that the foundation is committed to providing quality eduction and addressing hunger issues among young children.
He said: “HLF/RCCG CSR firmly believes in providing every child with access to quality education, recognizing that addressing hunger is pivotal to achieving this goal.
“The School Feeding Initiative serves as a testament to the organization’s commitment to uplift communities, following the mandate of compassion and support found in the biblical book of Matthew.
“Guided by this divine inspiration, the initiative aims to nourish not only the bodies but also the minds of the young generation, empowering them to exceed expectations and make a meaningful impact on society.
“HLF/RCCG CSR acknowledges the urgency to fill the void of hunger and extend support to vulnerable segments of society. Aligned with the theme of RCCG’s 71st Convention, “Beyond Expectation,” the initiative aims to break perceived limitations and create a transformative impact on the lives of a million students in Lagos.”
“The firm belief is that hunger should not hinder a child’s ability to learn and thrive. By providing daily nutritious meals to 1,000,000 students, the initiative aims to break barriers and pave the way for a brighter future where no child is left behind.”
