Saving 10k

"I am suggesting our next community outreach involves more people making contributions. It should not just be about the company alone, but team members, vendors and all. You know why? There’s a special feeling it gives to know your contributions is making life better for some children out there outside of your daily work"

These were Sarah’s words at our last meeting. Sarah, one of Augustsecrets Team Leads was making a case for more contributions for the Saving 10K Programme because each event has always been absolutely rewarding.

The Saving 10K Programme is one of Augustsecrets way of giving back. We do this because we understand our work is tied to an urgent need; 28 million African children are malnourished and improved access to nutritious, affordable food is the prime solution.

The goal is simple; to save 10,000 African children from malnutrition through;

Behavioural change communication & nutrition education to families especially moms on diet improvement and access to nutritious home-grown foods for their infants & young children in their first 1000 days.
Providing targeted support on exclusive breastfeeding practices, hygiene, diseases prevention and empowerment to young mothers in vulnerable communities.
Donations of food products to indigent children and families through direct community projects and collaboration with civil societies, NGOs & government on their interventions to solve micronutrient deficiencies and wasting amongst young children.
