More than 3,000 vulnerable children across Lagos received nutritious meals on May 27 as part of the “Feed the Children Project 2025,”an initiative by The Street Child Care and Welfare Initiative (SCCWI) aimed at tackling child hunger and supporting Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger.

The large-scale outreach, held to mark Children’s Day, reached underserved areas including the Ologo Otto Slum, Oshodi, Okobaba Destitute Home, Mushin, Oko Agbon, and the IDP camp in Igbo Efon, Lekki.

Now in its fifth year, the project has become SCCWI’s annual response to Nigeria's deepening food insecurity crisis. It offers not just meals, but hope and a pathway to healthier futures for children at risk.
