Across Nigeria, 1 in 3 children is undernourished. The One Cup of Milk a Day initiative provides a safe daily serving of milk to help children grow, learn, and thrive. Together, we can close the nutrition gap — one school, one child, one cup at a time.
Teachers, parents, and volunteers work hand in hand to bring milk to the classroom every day. Your support helps train local champions, strengthen schools, and empower communities to take charge of their children’s wellbeing.
Our 9-month pilot program reaches 50 children in one school — the first step toward integrating milk into national school feeding programs. Join us as we scale to reach 1 million children across Nigeria by 2030.
