FEATURE: THE DABIGAL CREW TEAM UP WITH DREAMS FROM THE SLUM FOR WORLD FOOD DAY 2018



16th October 2018 was the annual World Food Day and this year it was tagged #Worldfoodday2018.
The amiable Creative Director of TheDabiGal teamed up with “Dreams from Slums” crew to touch the lives of 20 families living in the slums of Ajegunle in Lagos State of Nigeria. It was an exciting experience plus seeing those thankful faces made it all worth it.

To celebrate World Food Day; which is a day of action dedicated to tackling global hunger and as part of Dreams From The Slum Empowerment Initiative commitment to eradicate hunger starting from local communities, the Dreams from Slums crew collaborated with TheDabiGal crew to provide and share food items like bags of rice, beans, jerry cans of groundnut oil, onion, tomatoes, salt and food seasoning maggie to 20 no-income and low income families who live in the slum.

“We believe that when children feed well, they will be well equipped to learn better and this is why through DFTS Food Bank we commemorated World Food Day 2018 by providing food items to their parents” says the team.

“Most children living in the slum go to school without breakfast because they are either from a no-income or low income family hence their parents’ inability to meet their very basic needs especially feeding. This has made more children to miss school and end up dropping out of school.
Providing food items for families is a way of curbing this and we are grateful to everyone that supported”.
