A Gift of Love: Food and Relief in Rural Nigeria

4 min read

For the past five years, we have been providing food donations to families in the village, scholarships, and paying schools for 200 children while helping empower the community—all without any donations so far. The Christmas season is a time for joy, togetherness, and reflection. It's also a time for giving, a principle embodied by the CANA Foundation's recent efforts in Egwu Achi Village, Enugu State. This past Christmas, the foundation extended a hand of love and support to the community, distributing much-needed foodstuffs and relief packages, bringing a beacon of hope in challenging times.

CANA Foundation's initiative focused on providing essential food items and other relief materials to families in Egwu Achi Village. Recognizing the importance of nourishment, especially during the festive season, the foundation ensured that families had access to staples like rice, beans, oil, and other provisions. These packages weren't just handouts; they were tangible expressions of God's love, delivered with compassion and care. The distribution process was carefully organized to ensure that the resources reached those who needed them most, bringing smiles and relief to countless faces.

The foundation's work goes beyond simply providing material goods. It’s about demonstrating the love of God through practical acts of kindness.

Our efforts serve as a powerful reminder that even in difficult circumsances, hope and love can prevail. Here is a video of the Egwu Achi community celebrating the Christmas Donation

The Growing Need: Economic Hardships in Africa


The timing of this charitable work is particularly significant given the increasing economic challenges facing many communities in Africa. Soaring food prices and reduced incomes are placing immense pressure on families, making it difficult for them to afford basic necessities. These hardships are felt acutely during festive seasons like Christmas, when the pressure to provide for families is even greater. CANA Foundation’s efforts are a direct response to these challenges, offering a lifeline to vulnerable families in Egwu Achi Village.
