In order to mitigate the unsettling effects of the current economic hardships on Nigerians, the TGI Cares Foundation partnered with FoodClique Support Initiative, a renowned NGO dedicated to ending hunger. The foundation’s goals include promoting appropriate education, advocating for social interventions, and offering relief in times of disaster.
Rafiat Gawat, TGI Group’s Head of Corporate Communications, stated, “We recognize the profound impact of hunger on our communities, particularly in view of the cost of living crisis ravaging the world currently. Our commitment is unwavering in providing meaningful support to those at risk. As an organization, we will continue to play our part in eradicating hunger and supporting our communities.”
The CEO of FoodClique Support Initiative, Ibrahim Onilegbale, added, “Our longstanding partnership with TGI Cares Foundation has always been about more than just providing food. Together, we have consistently worked to combat hunger and create sustainable solutions for a more secure future for many Nigerians.”
After receiving food donations during the pandemic, the charity worked harder to accomplish its goals. The foundation, among other things, donated laptops and pocket MiFi through Jigawa iLearn Scholars to a number of students as they started their BSc, MSc, and MBA programmes at esteemed Indian universities as part of the e-VBAB Network Project.
This was in accordance with the foundation’s mandate to support education as a tool to engender food security. In a more recent partnership, the foundation provided monthly food donations to the CWC Food Bank Project in support of the Cosmopolitan Women’s Club (CWC). This collaboration is a prime example of our shared dedication to community empowerment and sustainable development.
In addition to addressing the short-term effects of the economic crisis, the TGI Cares Foundation and FoodClique cooperation have established the groundwork for long-term community sustainability and resilience. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2 (Zero Hunger), 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) are among the international goals that this collaboration supports.
