Beneficiary Story

Hafsatu is a widow, mother, and small business owner in Unguwar Guragu Community, Abuja. She produces and sells liquid soap, Izal, air fresheners, and other household products from her small business.

Through this work, she strives to provide for her children and keep them in school. Her story reflects the resilience and entrepreneurial potential within the community—and the importance of providing access to the tools, capital, and opportunities needed to grow sustainable livelihoods.

About the Project

The FEED-A-FAMILY Phase I Project was implemented by HGDI to provide emergency food support to vulnerable households in Unguwar Guragu Community, Abuja. Rising food prices and limited income opportunities have made it difficult for many persons with disabilities and their families to meet their basic food needs.
HGDI responded by providing essential food items to 91 vulnerable households, helping reduce immediate food insecurity and providing temporary relief to families facing economic hardship.

Project Objectives
  • Provide emergency food assistance to vulnerable households.
  • Reduce immediate food insecurity and hunger.
  • Support households headed by persons with disabilities.
  • Strengthen collaboration with community leadership.
