THE CHALLENGES:
Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa with a
population of over 173 million. In 2012, the country’s economy grew at a rate
of 6.5 percent, largely fueled by oil revenues. It is the sixth largest
exporter of oil in the world. However, amidst the indicators of progress, the
country is still troubled by myriad socioeconomic problems. Of this 32 percent
live on less than US$2.5 a day, and 68 percent on less than US$1.5 a day With
44% of children underweight.
The future of rural Nigeria, where the highest concentration
of extreme poverty prevails, depends on overcoming enormous challenges in
Health, Education, Nutrition, Population and Environment.

In Hero Kids Rehabilitation Foundation (HKRF), we believe
that the most leveraged way to alleviate Hunger and Extreme poverty in our
communities is through promoting and support basic education as the fundamental
right for every child. Development is sustainable when local communities build
capacity at the grassroots and create own solutions.
Hero Kids Rehabilitation Foundation ( HKRF ) Team has set up
a program Bread For Hunger ( Bread4Hunger) as humanitarian response to alleviate Hunger and Extreme
poverty in Emergency camps and Rural
communities public schools focus especially on children and women.
