Our Common Pot is Officially Registered!

We are thrilled to announce that Our Common Pot is now officially registered as an organization! Despite the challenges we faced with fundraising and navigating the complexities of establishing our foundation, our dedication and perseverance have paid off.

This milestone marks the beginning of a new chapter for Our Common Pot. With our official status, we are more equipped than ever to address food insecurity in public higher institutions across Nigeria. We believe that every student deserves access to nutritious food, and our mission to provide food scholarships and a sustainable food bank system is now stronger and more focused.

As we move forward, we are filled with hope and optimism for a brighter future. We are committed to building partnerships, securing resources, and implementing programs that will make a significant impact on students’ lives. Together, we can create a supportive community where students can thrive academically and personally.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey. We look forward to your continued support as we strive to make a difference.

Today is not only about celebrating our dedicated efforts towards achieving hunger-free campuses in Nigeria. It is about the celebration of every NGO working to make the world a better place.

Together, we can create a better world, and for Our Common Pot, a world where no student goes to bed hungry, fostering education and empowerment for generations to come.

You have 4 unread messages; pay attention to the last one.

We won’t begin to explain what’s happening in the country to you; you already know that one.

But what you might not know is that students in higher institutions are feeling this hardship more. They are not only hungry but are also food insecure.

You can be of support by donating today.

A few months ago, the prospect of funding Our Common Pot and realizing our vision for ending food insecurity in Nigerian higher institutions seemed uncertain and impossible.

However, thanks to our incredible team and generous donors, things have progressively fallen into place. We do not despise our baby steps while we keep up the momentum and brace up for the exciting journey ahead.

As a student-led organization we are excited to share that we’ve successfully secured the funds to officially register the organization, and the excitement is huge.

We remain steadfast in our mission to eradicate food insecurity in Nigerian higher institutions and we anticipate greater collaboration, partnerships and support.

It’s never too late to join this mission, and with your support, we can transform Nigerian higher institutions into environments where hunger no longer impedes optimal academic excellence.

Imagine writing JAMB about five times, coupled with the stress of WAEC AND NECO and then you finally fulfilled your dream of becoming an undergraduate but you had to drop out or fail because you had little or nothing to eat while in school?

This is when you realise that gaining admission is not all there is to higher education. Maybe you even got a scholarship covering your school fees and accommodation but what about food?

The cost of food and other things is rising yet the minimum wage is not increasing, and neither is there any nationwide food aid program in place in Nigeria and many African countries, like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in the USA.

According to , founder and CEO of Swipe Out Hunger, people who hustled and got into college are on the path to greater earning potential, to living out their dreams. Wouldn’t it be sad that food, a very simple low-cost thing, might be the thing that’ll stop them?

Our Common Pot has recognized the danger of having this type of narrative among students in higher institutions in Nigeria. It comes as the first food scholarship program aimed at ensuring that hunger and food insecurity do not hinder optimal academic excellence.

Donate today to support the program.

This morning we woke up to the alert in the picture above. One of our donors contributed to our vision to end campus hunger and food insecurity in Nigerian higher institutions, and we are immensely grateful.

A lot of us know of Leonardo da Vinci but here’s something many of us don’t know.

While Leonardo da Vinci is no doubt a talented individual, he had several patrons, including Lorenzo de’ Medici and Francis I of France, who supported his artistic endeavors and allowed him to create iconic works like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper

We are here to remind you that when you support a nonprofit organization like Our Common Pot, you are investing in causes and dreams that make a positive impact on society.

The Yoruba people say when you throw a stone in the market, it might just hit a relative, but it would also interest you to know that when you support a philanthropic cause, who knows, you might really be supporting someone close to home.

Here we are again saying support Our Common Pot. Support this dream. And it’s another way of saying support the great Nigerian students and Nigeria’s future.

The goal is to have higher institutions in Nigeria where optimal academic excellence is not hindered by hunger and food insecurity.

We are presently working on getting the organization registered and setting up our mobile application. We have raised a substantial amount and with your donations, we can achieve this in no time at all.

Donate today!
