9jaFoodFiesta was found in 2024, sparked by a bold and heartfelt dream: To feed 10,000 people and empower 2,000 youths in every state of Nigeria.

In our early days, we focused on food relief and charity outreach, reaching vulnerable communities with meals, hope, and a sense of dignity. But as we walked deeper into the realities on ground, one truth became clear — while food feeds for a day, skills feed for a lifetime.

So, we evolved.

We shifted from charity alone to empowerment-driven impact — helping people not just survive, but thrive. Our mission grew stronger:
To train 2,000 people per state in practical, income-generating skills that create pathways out of poverty and into purpose.

Today, 9jaFoodFiesta is proud to run one of the most ambitious empowerment programs in Nigeria — equipping youths, women, and persons with disabilities with skills in:

• 💻 ICT (including Web Development, Digital Literacy)
• 👗 Fashion Design
• 🍲 Culinary Arts
• 🐟  Agriculture (Fishery & Poultry)

Every state we reach is more than a milestone — it’s a movement.
A movement to raise leaders.
To reduce hunger through self-sufficiency.
To prove that every Nigerian, regardless of background or ability, deserves the tools to succeed.

This is our story.
And we’re just getting started. 🚀
