Fasting with Dignity & Sustenance

Over 500,000 families in Nigeria benefited from NEAR Foundation's hunger relief efforts during Ramadan since 2021. Tailored to community needs, each package provides essential food items like rice, beans, macaroni, spaghetti, garri, salt, and semovita. These packages, distributed across 32 states including the Federal Capital Territory with 250 distribution points nationwide, ensure families can fast in Ramadan with dignity and sustenance.

The Feast of Sacrifice — Shared with All

Touching the lives of over 400,000 families across 32 states in Nigeria, NEAR Foundation has made Eid El Adha truly special for those in need. Through the Qurban feast of sacrifice, the foundation has generously sacrificed thousands of cows, distributing essential meat packages to families. This act of charity brought joy and nourishment to countless individuals, strengthening communities and fostering a spirit of giving during this sacred holiday.

Year-Round Relief for the Most Vulnerable

In addition to the Ramadan relief packages, the Foundation has distributed over 50,000 Christmas packages to less privileged families, aiming to alleviate hunger and lessen the level of hardship in our communities. The foundation also provides empowerment support including goat empowerment to 150+ families and bicycle projects benefiting 50+ individuals. Furthermore, emergency support was provided during the Mokwa flood with 500 pieces of mosquito nets, 10 cows, and 60 bags of 50kg rice distributed to affected families.
