In its continued mission of service, humanity, and compassion, Adewumi Foundation embarked on a heart-touching outreach project by taking to the streets and slums of Abuja to feed poor and hungry children. The project, carried out with dedication and love, is one of the many humanitarian efforts by the foundation to alleviate the challenges faced by vulnerable children in society.
Across the bustling neighborhoods and hidden corners of Abuja’s underserved communities, the Foundation team moved with purpose — sharing food, drinks, and words of encouragement to children whose daily reality is hunger, neglect, and limited access to opportunities. For many of these kids, the simple meal received was not just food, but also a sign of hope, care, and belonging.
Reaching the Forgotten Corners of Abuja
Unlike traditional charity programs that are often held in designated centers, Adewumi Foundation took this initiative directly to the streets and slums, ensuring that no child in need was left behind. Volunteers could be seen walking through narrow alleys and open streets, meeting children where they were and offering meals with smiles and kindness.
The choice to reach out in this manner reflects the Foundation’s belief that true humanitarian service must go beyond convenience — it must meet people at the very point of their need.
Beyond Feeding: Restoring Dignity and Hope
While the meals provided immediate relief, the impact of the project went beyond physical nourishment. Many of the children who benefited were not just hungry, but also living with the burden of neglect and abandonment. By offering a warm presence and friendly interaction, Adewumi Foundation reminded them that they are not forgotten, and that their lives matter.
One volunteer described the experience as “an awakening of the soul,” stressing how much a simple act of kindness can brighten the eyes of a hungry child.
The Founder’s Commitment
Speaking on the project, Mr. Henry Gbenga Adewumi, the Founder of Adewumi Foundation, emphasized the need for society to rise to the challenge of supporting vulnerable children.
“No child deserves to go to bed hungry. Our mission is to touch lives and give hope, and we will continue to do so until every child in our reach feels loved, valued, and cared for.”
His words capture the vision of the Foundation — a Nigeria where poverty and hunger do not rob children of their potential.
The Foundation is determined to expand its feeding program to reach even more communities across Nigeria. However, this vision can only be achieved with the support of individuals, organizations, and well-wishers who share in the dream of building a kinder society.
Those who wish to partner, donate, or volunteer with Adewumi Foundation are encouraged to join this noble cause. Every contribution, whether big or small, makes a difference in the life of a hungry child.
By taking to the streets and slums of Abuja to feed poor and hungry kids, Adewumi Foundation has once again shown that humanity thrives when love is put into action. Feeding a child may seem like a small gesture, but for the child who eats after days of hunger, it means the world.
Adewumi Foundation stands as a reminder that true greatness is found in serving others, and together, we can create a world where no child suffers from hunger.
