A Season of Giving:
Your Christmas Gift Can Be a Child’s Health in Nigeria

The air is crisp, the lights are twinkling, and the carols are playing, it’s the beautiful, generous spirit of Christmas! As we gather with loved ones and celebrate the abundance in our own lives, it’s a time to pause and remember those who are struggling.

This holiday season, we at the Bountiful Children Foundation (BCF) invite you to extend your generosity far beyond your immediate circle and into the heart of Nigeria, where a silent crisis threatens the future of thousands of children: malnutrition.

The Silent Crisis: Malnutrition in Nigeria

Malnutrition isn’t just a lack of food; it’s a devastating condition that prevents children from reaching their full physical and cognitive potential.

A Stark Reality: Nigeria faces one of the highest burdens of malnutrition in the world. According to the national health data, millions of children lack access to the diverse, nutritent-rich food essential for growth.

Through your donations, Bountiful Children Foundation in Nigeria is responding to the needs of 5,826 vulnerable children acorss underserved communities in Nigeria and the need continues to grow.

The Impact: Malnutrition weakens a child’s immune system, making them highly susceptible to deadly diseases like malaria and pneumonia. It stunts growth, impairs learning, and tragically, accounts for a significant percentage of child mortality rate in Nigeria.

Because of You, a Mother celebrate Christmas with Her Twins

Elizabeth, a mother in rural Oyo State, shared this during the Bountiful Children’s Foundation Nigeria Christmas party

“When my twins were born, they were often sick and very weak. I was afraid I might lose them. After receiving nutrition support and regular follow-up care, they began to gain strength. Today, I am here with my twins, celebrating Christmas alongside other children, seeing them smile, play, and laugh gives me hope for their future”

For a mother in a remote Nigerian village, the fight against malnutrition is an everyday struggle, one she shouldn’t have to face alone. This is where Bountiful Children Foundation steps in, and where your Christmas gift can make a life-altering difference.
