Lagos Food Bank partnered with Sage Grey Finance Limited on 25th September 2024, to provide hot and nutritious meals to school children in low-cost schools through the EDUFOOD program. EDUFOOD aims to improve school attendance and boost cognitive performance by serving children with nutritious meals during school hours.

Upon arrival at the schools, the children were elated to see that EDUFOOD was there to feed them once again. Their faces lit up with joy, radiating happiness as the Sage Grey team was warmly welcomed. Subsequently, the children got served with hot meals. While delivering her brief at the beginning of the outreach, a member of the Sage Grey team said “This is my first time engaging in this type of activity and I am really excited to be part of this impactful engagement.” 

The outreach was a timely contribution towards advancing the Sustainable Development Goals that aim to reduce hunger and food insecurity (SDG 2) as well as to provide quality education (SDG 4), and it was inspiring to see corporate organizations committed to promoting this course through their corporate social responsibility (CSR). Children who are well nourished and get quality education are poised to have better opportunities for sustainable economic standing in the future.

The activities of dedicated volunteers on the day truly reflected a commitment to serving humanity and highlighted the vital role of community support in development efforts. The heartfelt smiles of the children created an atmosphere filled with fulfillment, making the day truly special.
