Coronavirus (COVID-19) Crisis Response Program - Food and Emergency Aid

Experts predict that the effect of coronavirus on the level of hunger and poverty in Nigeria and among poor nations will be felt long after the lock downs have been lifted.

According to the World Bank, Covid-19 will push 49 million people into extreme poverty in 2020 with Sub-Saharan Africa being the hardest hit region where more than 22 million persons will be affected.

Before coronavirus, 4 in 10 Nigerians were living below the national poverty line, and millions more were living just above the poverty line, making them vulnerable to falling back into poverty when shocks occur.

PASDO launched the Food and Emergency Aid initiative, and, through generous donations from well-meaning individuals and institutions, has been distributing food items and basic needs to vulnerable Nigerians, including those who survive on daily wages but can no longer earn income to feed and take care of their basic needs due to the impact of Covid-19.
