Feeding the Future is an annual charity event hosted by Umu Igbo Unite - Los Angeles in South Eastern Nigeria. One of the main goals of Umu Igbo Unite Corporation is to encourage civic engagement and community service back home in Nigeria. As Nigerians, especially Igbos, we make it our priority to give back to the country that has given so much to us. This is why UIU exists, to foster a community within the diaspora that remembers its roots and thereby invests time, energy, and resources to improve the quality of life back home. It is also an opportunity for our members to experience different Igbo states while giving back.

 

UIU-LA accomplishes this every December by selecting an orphanage or motherless babies home from a different South Eastern Igbo speaking state to aid. For the 2022 project, we have selected two Anambra State orphanages in dire need. We aim to provide items to take care of the children and facilities. We are raising money to donate food, kitchen appliances, fuel, toys, school supplies, clothing, and accessories for the children and orphanage staff. 

​

All donors will be recognized and acknowledged, and photos and videos of organization members donating to the children will be shared on the website. Donors will be recognized as the following:
