The Aggregator Programme (TAP), a charity organisation committed to the alleviation of hunger and powered by Oando employees (#HumansOfOando), has rolled out drums to celebrate its fourth anniversary.
According to a statement by the body, TAP is committed to relieving Nigerians of hunger, especially in most vulnerable communities through feeding programmes.
Conceived in April 2020, TAP was designed as a short-term solution to alleviate hunger during the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria. The initiative, according to the statement, recognises that there is a huge gap, despite contributions and efforts made by government, public and private sector players and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to feed the less privileged.
“Through TAP, the Humans of Oando have continued to rally donors to keep the cause thriving and is set to celebrate the charity’s 4th anniversary on Saturday, April 27.
“Since its inception, the programme has evolved its approach to tackling hunger through its feed, empower, and uplift initiative to ensure a portion of the individuals who benefit from the feeding programme also learn a skill and thus, are equipped to generate income for themselves.
“In its 4 years of feeding and empowering Nigerians, TAP has been able to reduce incidents of food insecurity among indigent communities by positively impacting circa 8,645 households, 37,550 individuals across over 33 communities in Lagos, all achieved by leveraging its 11 implementing partners such as Lagos Food Bank, Abraham’s Tent, Project Ark, JAKINS, Siddiqah Foundation, and others,” the statement added.
