FEED A NIGERIA RURAL CHILD; REDUCE COVID 19 IMPACT

As the novel COVID19 pandemic is teaching its lessons, only individuals can say the type of lessons learned. But generally for many, the means of economic SUSTENANCE is badly hit. For many parents, daily menu is only targeted at filling the tummy, but not nourishing the body. Children meal is supposed to be nourishing and not a mere 'tummy filling'. A nourishing breakfast containing essential nutrients will supply a child with over 50% of daily nutrients requirement. It was a joyous moment for the children and their mothers who benefited from food packages containing a 5 days breakfast for each of the children, distributed by Oak Rural Health Organization as part of our efforts to help children maintain adequate nourishment and support mothers in providing for their children to cushion the effects of COVID19. 
“ ......this package will help me for the week and enable me to use the money I should have spent on my child’s breakfast on other things”.... This is the testimony of Mrs A.O, who is a beneficiary. She further stated that it was such an unexpected but timely move by the Organization and therefore appeal for more of this kind gestures.
The Organization continues to plan and implement mothers and children focused programs like this. We hope to reach more and make more people happy. As low as $10 will create a resonating impact on these children in a time like this. Donate to feed these children, then we will help them develop strong immunity against diseases, as well maintaining growth that is proportionate with their age.

With COVID19 still at large and unleashing mayhem on the economic survival of the majority. The Rural economically disadvantaged populations are more affected.

Olaitan is a 3 year old female child who lost her mother to a brief Illness in early 2020. Her care has since been taken up by her aunt who is a sewing mistress and petty trader. Goings have been tough for the family as their daily menu has not been totally dependent on  quality but the available, due to inflation resulting from COVID19 pandemic. For a growing child like Olaitan, daily menu should be based on quality food enriched with nourishing nutrients. Interestingly, Oak Rural Health Organization make huge impact with as little as $10. With this, we are able to provide a month supply of iron fortified cereals, eggs and diary, which together can give more than 70% of the child's daily nutrients requirement. This helps to build body immunity against diseases and enhance adequate growth and development of the brain and other tissues. 

Feeding a rural child with adequate nutrients which help them to grow up and become adults that contribute meaningfully in the society, is one of our priorities in a time when lost of purchasing power has drastically affected families' food supply. Donating as little as $10 helps us with an uninterrupted supply of nourishments monthly to this poor child. Donating more to this project will replicate same to other vulnerable children within the locality. You will be proud of putting nourishing foods on their table and giving hope for the future.
