A prominent African humanitarian organisation, End Hunger Humanitarian Initiative (EHHI), has launched a major campaign aimed at addressing child hunger and malnutrition across Nigeria. The project, titled Feed One Million Kids, seeks to rally individuals, communities, and institutions in a nationwide effort to combat rising food insecurity—particularly in rural areas.

EHHI, headquartered in Abuja, operates on the principle that access to nutritious food is a basic human right. Its new campaign is more than a short-term intervention; it forms part of a wider push to promote sustainable solutions to hunger and poverty among Nigeria’s most vulnerable populations.

Currently, millions of Nigerian children suffer from varying degrees of malnutrition, which experts say severely hampers their growth, learning, and ability to contribute meaningfully to society in the future. The initiative is a response to this alarming crisis.

“Our mission is to alleviate hunger and food insecurity in rural areas by providing access to nutritious food, agricultural training, and life-changing skills,” said Dr Emem Alban, founder of EHHI. “We strive to empower underprivileged communities, especially women and the girl child, by giving them the tools and knowledge to break the cycle of poverty.”

As part of its work, EHHI supports orphans, the destitute, inmates, and impoverished families by distributing food, offering nutrition education, and conducting vocational and agricultural training. The group is especially focused on empowering women, who are disproportionately affected by hunger and food scarcity.

EHHI’s approach combines immediate relief with long-term development. By teaching beneficiaries how to grow their own food using sustainable methods, the organisation aims to foster resilience and economic self-sufficiency. This model, according to EHHI, reduces dependency on aid and offers a path out of chronic poverty.

Beyond food distribution, the Feed One Million Kids campaign aims to raise public awareness and engage both local and international partners in the collective fight against child hunger. The campaign is calling on corporate bodies, development organisations, and community leaders to lend their support in meeting its ambitious target.

“Hunger and malnutrition are not just about the absence of food,” Dr Alban said. “They are deeply connected to human rights, health outcomes, and productivity. Addressing them is not charity—it is justice.”

EHHI says it will continually evaluate the campaign’s impact, adapting its methods to the evolving needs of the communities it serves. Transparency and accountability, the organisation noted, remain central to its mission.

As Nigeria continues to grapple with the social and economic effects of rising poverty, EHHI’s Feed One Million Kids campaign signals a bold step towards breaking the cycle of child hunger. It calls on all stakeholders—from government to grassroots—to recognise the urgency of the crisis and commit to building a future where no child is left behind.
