Overview

Picture this: A family who hasn’t eaten in days finally receives a bag of rice and some cartons of vegetable oil. Their faces light up with gratitude and relief. This is what the first ever Food Bank Initiative by Rolan Foundation aims to achieve. We’re excited to announce that our Business Development Manager, Christiana Odeh, has given us a sneak peek of the packed food items which are ready for distribution from 17th-19th April. Join us in making a difference by supporting our cause and help us feed families in need. For sponsorship and donations, please use the link below: https://rolanfoundation.org/donate/

Our Impact/Solution

Through the support of our donors and corporate sponsors – including our committed volunteers, friends, and families,

Rolan Foundation Initiatives thrives in making an impact on the following fonts:

Food Security and Nutrition Program

In line with SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), our Food Bank serves as a food storage and distribution depot for the collection and distribution of food items to the less privileged persons in the community. This will help eradicate hunger and unhealthy feeding amongst children, women, and the elderly in society.

Health and wellbeing

Research has proven that the rate of mortality increases from the age of 55 and above due to the following illness; diabetes, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, congestive cardiac failure, and chronic renal disease among others [PMC https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih. gov/pmc/articles/PMC3035961]. Our approach to this public health challenge is timely and regular medical outreaches.

Community cleaning: Water; Sanitation; Hygiene (WASH)

In line with SDG 6 and 11, our community cleaning is meant to improve public spaces by removing litter and unsightly objects on the streets and in drainages. This will limit the occurrence of floods and illness due to contaminated surroundings.
