A leading non-governmental organisation, Kingsley Obiukwu Foundation (KOF), has organised a food security outreach in which over 3,000 persons across 10 towns in Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State, benefited.
As part of its seven initiatives, KOF diligently works to ensure communities have access to affordable and sustenable food distribution, bolstering agricultural productivity, aiding small-scale farmers and executing targeted programs to combat food insecurity.
Speaking with reporters, the founder of KOF, Kingsley Obiukwu, who is also a business mogul, noted that the foundation proudly champions food security in communities by distributing nourishment to thousands across all 10 towns of Nnewi South Local Government Area.
He said, “The impact of the Kingsley Obiukwu Foundation’s initiatives on the communities of Anambra State is profound and multi-faceted. By distributing food to thousands of individuals across all 10 towns of Nnewi South Local Government Area, KOF is directly addressing food insecurity in these communities.
“This ensures that families have access to nutritious meals, contributing to better health outcomes and overall well-being.
“Through its efforts to enhance agricultural productivity and support small-scale farmers, KOF is empowering local agricultural communities, by providing resources, training,and support. KOF is also enabling farmers to increase their yields and income, thereby improving their livelihoods and economic stability.
“KOF’s initiatives are not just about providing immediate relief but also about fostering long-term community development by working hand-in-hand with community leaders,volunteers,and youth groups,thereby building a sense of solidarity and collective responsibility within these communities.
“This collaboration not only strengthens social cohesion but also lays the foundation for sustainable development initiatives in the future,” said Obiukwu.
According to him, in addition to addressing immediate food needs, the foundation also implements targeted programs to raise awareness about food security issues and promote sustainable practices. By educating community members about topics such as nutrition, agriculture, and food waste reduction, KOF is empowering individuals to take control of their own food security and make informed decisions for themselves and their families.
