Overview

The Lift project is an initiative designed to tackle hunger and poverty in Nigeria by harnessing the power of community engagement, data-driven insights, and sustainable solutions. At its core, Lift takes a town hall approach to bring together community members, local leaders, and stakeholders to share experiences, identify challenges, and co-create solutions.

  • To create sustainable solutions: Context-specific, community-led initiatives for long-term impact.
