CHELSEA & ROLAND AROGE FOUNDATION (CRAF)

CHELSEA AND ROLAND AROGE FOUNDATION·THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 2020·

Chelsea and Roland are kid SDG advocates in the rural Ipaja community in Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos Nigeria where they were both born about a decade ago. They have been inspired to embrace the sustainable Development Goal (SDG), which were put together by 193 countries under UN agreement in 2015.

The 17 goals jointly endorsed by the 193 countries are meant to bridge the gap between the rich and poor countries, without living anyone behind. Their ability to take action and pull the vision of SDG 2: "End hunger"(improving nutrition, achieving food security and promoting sustainable agriculture) evolved from here.

While they appreciate the covid-19 lockdown, they saw a looming challenge for other kids who may not be able to feed during this lockdown. Their immediate action plan is to attract influential people to mobilize resources towards getting food into the Ipaja community to help them achieve the Chelsea and Roland Aroge (CRA) lunch pack. This is a free food pack which is "not for sale", to handed over to children in the community at least once a day for a start with 100 units and more as the provision and capacity increases.
They have suggested and successfully secured permission for the conversion of their school facility into a COVID-19 KITCHEN. With the help of teaching and non academic staff of their school who live in the same community, they believe that they can get a lot of food, cook and served to the community to enable people stay alive and healthy while the lockdown persists. To this end, they have gained access to catering equipment, utensils and volunteers for the work.

The only pending input they are now left with, are: food stuff and logistics which are needed to achieve their dream. It will be a thing of joy for them to see this service to humanity crystallize, especially in the next 14 days of Lagos total lockdown and in the post covid-19 resettlement period which is not predictable at the moment.

At this junction, they are soliciting for urgent support for food stuff, logistics and cash from the government, other NGOs, Corporate organizations and good-hearted philanthropists across the globe, to help mobilize support for the vulnerable and less privileged in their immediate community- Ipaja, and its environ.
