MBRGI Launches ‘1 Billion Meals Endowment’ Distribution in Ghana

 


The Muhammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), in collaboration with UAE AID, the Food Banking Regional Network (FBRN), and Food for All Africa, has officially commenced the nationwide distribution of essential food and relief packages under the 1 Billion Meals Endowment Ghana Distribution 2025 program.

The initiative, which runs from October through November 2025, aims to support vulnerable households across the Ashanti, Central, Eastern, and Greater Accra Regions. Thousands of families facing economic hardship and food insecurity will receive food boxes, basic necessities, nutrition support, and clothing.

Launch at Offinso Saboa Mosque

The official launch ceremony took place at the Offinso Saboa Mosque in the Ashanti Region, symbolizing the start of a two-month national effort to strengthen community resilience and combat hunger and malnutrition across Ghana.

Speaking at the event, Mallam Tamimu Bamba, Imam of the Offinso Saboa Mosque, expressed heartfelt appreciation to the organizers and donors:

“This initiative is a true blessing to our community. It comes at a time when many families are struggling to meet their daily food needs. We pray for continued strength and blessings for those supporting this noble cause.”

Local Leaders Commend the Initiative

Hon. Frank Owusu Amoah, Municipal Chief Executive for Offinso South, praised Food for All Africa and its partners for their leadership in implementing sustainable hunger-relief initiatives.

“The 1 Billion Meals Endowment Ghana project demonstrates what is possible through collaboration. We are proud to see MBRGI and its partners leading the way to ensure that no Ghanaian goes hungry—especially the vulnerable in our municipalities.”

Partners Highlight Sustainable Impact

Mr. Nelson Agboba, Operations Manager of Food for All Africa, acknowledged the continued support from the project sponsors:

“We are deeply grateful to MBRGI, UAE AID, and the Food Banking Regional Network for making this project possible. Their investment in people’s lives is creating lasting impacts on food systems and communities across Ghana.”

Project Manager Mr. Elinam Amudzi further emphasized the importance of local collaboration to sustain the initiative’s long-term impact:

“We encourage district assemblies and community leaders to work with us in building efficient and sustainable models of nutrition support. Together, we can ensure that vulnerable families have access not just to food, but to dignity and opportunity.”

A Decade of Fighting Hunger

The 1 Billion Meals Endowment Ghana Distribution 2025 builds upon Food for All Africa’s decade-long mission to create an inclusive and sustainable food supply chain. Through food recovery, redistribution, and empowerment programs, the organization continues to promote equitable access to nutrition while reducing food waste nationwide.
