Kenya’s Leading retailer, Naivas Supermarket has partnered with Food Banking Kenya to support families facing food insecurity in celebration of World Food Day.
The aim is to reach 800 households from Korogocho, providing essential food items to an estimated 4,000 individuals.
This initiative underscores the belief that everyone has something to give and that even small acts of kindness can significantly impact those around us.
Naivas is committed to finding opportunities for such acts, believing that its contributions can turn lives around and foster hope.
According to Chief of Strategy at Naivas Andreas Von Paleske, the retailer recognizes the responsibility to give back to the community.
“Naivas recognizes the responsibility to give back to the community. While we may not be able to solve all the world’s challenges, we can certainly do our part. This partnership is just the beginning of our commitment to reducing food waste and loss.” He said.
The donation by Naivas includes essential dry food items such as bread, flour, and milk.
They plan to expand their involvement in proactive initiatives aimed at minimizing food waste and supporting sustainable food systems in Kenya.
Food Banking NGO thanked Naivas for their commitment to fight hunger and promote food security.
“We are grateful for this partnership with Naivas, which reflects our shared commitment to fighting hunger and promoting food security.” Moses Nyoro, Business Development Director, Food Banking Kenya said.
“Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of many families.” He added.
Naivas has encouraged everyone to join them in their effort to eradicate hunger, reminding the community that collective action can lead to significant change.
“As we observe World Food Day, let us all remember the power of generosity and the importance of supporting those in need. This year’s theme, “Right to Food for a Better Life & a Better Future,” resonates deeply with Naivas as it seeks to uplift the local community and ensure that no one goes hungry.” Andreas stated.
