The world hunger has become an increasingly large problem. Hunger can make a person not to focus on his or her studies, and worried parents cannot properly care for their children need if there is a severe shortage of nutritional sustenance.

Benin Republic, a third world small country on the west coast of Africa is no stranger to this epidemic. Several areas in Benin Republic have been brought to our attention by both local government and concerned citizens who are heartbroken to witness large scale poverty. There are many locations both within major West African cities, as well as much more rural villages where people go to bed hungry, without any hope for relief. We estimate that $1 USD can effectively feed one child for at least one full day. In our “Every One Dollar” campaign, we aim to use your dollars to purchase foodstuff at local wholesale markets in order to insure premium quality as well as stimulate the local economy.

Lydia Wilson Foundation being conscious of this fact has been doing a number of relief works since 2009, by giving out foods to the citizens of Benin Republic. On 11th of October, 2009, Lydia Wilson hosted an event in Cotonou to distribute foodstuff to help feed many people. Key areas were targeted for hands on distribution and we ensure that the provisions are disbursed well throughout a wider area and a large number of hungry people eat.
