Feed a Child with 1 Steem
Children's day is around the corner. It is usually celebrated on 27th of May annually in my country, Nigeria.
I reside in Northern Nigeria an area predominantly inhabited by Muslims and some Christians. I do see lots of Children roam around the street begging for aid daily. They are usually referred to as "Almajiris" meaning Street Beggars.
On my birthday (19th December) in 2017 when the price of SBD was skyrocketing, I visited a Motherless baby home in Minna, Northern Nigeria some few kilometres away from where I reside. It was really appalling seeing suffering at it's peak in little children.
Ironically, the richest man in Africa is a Nigerian and hails from Northern Nigeria, the President of Nigeria also hails from the North. Yet, the suffering is intense.
Children of school age roaming about the street in this region is an age long thing. Unfortunately, it seem as though no help was any where forth coming.

During this season of Ramandan, I hope to help distribute food items to some of these Children with my payouts from this posts and some savings too. This is quite a great time to achieve this because it falls within the Children's day celebration in Nigeria.
This post is made on the 22nd of May, 2018. So the payout will be on the 29th of May. Sequel to this, I hope to distribute the food stuffs to the Children on the 1st of June which is on a Friday.
Pictures from the purchase of the food items to the final distribution will be made to ensure proper use of resources on the Steem network.
Sometimes, I wish my upvote could feed someone
The plight of Children suffering touches and often times, these kids are left to beg even in high ways thus, endangering their lives.
Apparently, this is an offline social intervention/Philanthropic measure in which Steem is impacting the world.
I am a beneficiary of the opportunities that lies in this network and I hope to share the goodies to people around. That's why I always mention Steem and Blockchain to friends particularly my unemployed ones.
Rendering help to Children particularly the downtrodden will be a great way of extending the positive attributes of Steem to all and sundry.
Thank you @tarekadam for the good works you doing.

i come from aceh province in indonesia i support your activities for children who need food, i am islam religion i wish that our brothers there are healthy and can take education, amen
Wow! So grateful for your kind words and support
The Children will get whatsoever donations from this platform
regardless of the issue of religion, if I may know, whether you are also the religion of Islam
No I am not
Now this is touching. I've heard a lot about the plight of Nigerian destitute. Unfortunately, I'm just a new person on this platform and have no SBD to donate. Tell me if you have any other channel for the support solicitation so I can contribute the little I can.
Am delighted about your support
No other channel

Wow! Thank you so much
Am grateful
This is a beautiful project. Nice one @mickyscofield. So many hungry children in Nigeria. We need to show love and care and celebrate children.
Definitely
Thank you for your post. Please can you clarify what kind of food you plan to buy for the children and how exactly will you share it with the children.
Thank you for your support, Sir @tarekadam
I hope to get them food items that will serve them for a full meal. The last time I visited during my Birthday, I bought Cookies (Biscuit) and Noodles and distributed. But I believe a good meal is worth much than snacks or very light meal like noodles
I hope to get them Rice and Ingredients such as; Onion, Seasoning, and Cooking Oil for a good meal.
I will start by visiting an Orphanage home. The care providers will distribute the food items and cook for them.
Some of the Children wandering about reside close to the Orphanage home. I will ensure they get the meal too and share equally for them.
Subsequently, I will extend to other areas.
Thank you.
Thank you so much
Educational materials will be made available to them to encourage learning hopefully. I believe a hungry man is an angry man by default...So getting a meal for them will be a good step towards helping them getting education in a short time.
Keep up with the good work. God bless and strengthen you to do more
Amen!
Thanks dear
