Eradicating Hunger in Africa
In 2012, the United Nations adopted Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aimed at ending the world's social, economic, political, and environmental challenges. We work to eradicate poverty and achieve zero hunger by ensuring access to sufficient and nutritious food, good sanitation, and clean drinking water.
Become a VolunteerOur Purpose
Founded in July 2021, HABA Hunger is a nonprofit organization seeking to eliminate child hunger in Africa. With headquarters in Houston, Texas, we champion the wellbeing of the African child generously providing nutritious groceries to families with children who are in dire need. As a strategic organization, we work with other philanthropic organizations and individuals to implement a spectrum of programs that ensure every child gets an opportunity to grow strong and healthy in order to conquer their dreams.
Why Our Work Matters
While developing the SDGs, the UN identified Africa as one of the areas facing severe hunger. Data from World Vision indicates that close to 40% of children in sub-Saharan Africa are facing starvation and malnutrition. It is predicted that, by late 2021, about 1.15 million children from Nigeria will be suffering from acute to severe malnutrition.
We are implementing a program aimed at providing pre-packed grocery boxes filled with nutritious food items such as whole grains, dairy, fruits, vegetables, eggs, canned foods, meat, and fresh produce to families with children facing hunger.
