Lagos Food Bank, Ayra Starr Partner to Feed 21 Families in Agege Community

As part of the programme to celebrate her 22nd birthday, Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, better known as Ayra Starr, has partnered with Lagos Food Bank Initiative to provide nutrition for 21 families within the Agege Community of Lagos State. 

While speaking at the event, which had in attendance members of the Mavin team and the LFBI team, as well as the beneficiaries of this initiative, Ayra Starr said, “I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate my 22nd birthday.

“I’m just so grateful for the opportunity to partner with the Lagos Food Bank Initiative and use my platform in such a meaningful and impactful way.”

The outreach programme consisted of a short and long term approach with the former involving distribution of 21 boxes with enough food to sustain a family of five for two to three weeks, while the latter set them up with adequate resources for poultry farming, an occupation that can sustain these families for life.

The Lagos Food Bank Initiative, LFBI, is a non-profit organisation committed to combating hunger and providing a sustainable means of living to vulnerable persons in under-served communities across Nigeria.
