Dear FAC Supporters,
2025 was a pivotal year for Feed an African Child. During the year, we rebuilt and strengthened the organization with a clear structure, expanded our literacy programs, and laid the foundation for sustainable growth and greater impact.
Expanding Access to Literacy
In 2025, FAC implemented literacy programs in two locations in Nigeria:
St. Michael’s Primary School – Idanre, Ondo State
Gospel Faith Mission International Church – Ibadan, Oyo State
These programs focused on children ages 6–15 who were unable to read at grade level. Through structured classes, phonics instruction, reading comprehension exercises, and dedicated tutoring, 26 children participated in literacy classes between February and May 2025.
Community-Driven Impact
Our work was made possible through committed volunteers and educators, including:
Mrs. Adeyeye, Program Coordinator in Idanre
Pastor Anthony Esan, Program Coordinator in Ibadan
Mrs. Janet Esan, Literacy Tutor
Together, they helped provide learning materials, deliver instruction, and support children on their reading journey.
Real Progress
Parents and teachers reported improved reading skills, increased confidence, and stronger classroom participation among the children who participated in the program.
Continuing the Work
As we close 2025, our work continues. FAC is currently running another literacy class in Idanre with 15 pupils, and we will share the full results of this program in our 2026 impact report.
Looking Ahead
Our vision remains bold:
Reach 1,000 children each year
Establish a permanent literacy center
Expand programs across Nigeria and eventually across Africa.
Thank You
We are deeply grateful to our sponsors and supporters, including Microbial Discovery Group and Rufus and Rebecca Akinrinlola, whose generosity made these programs possible.
Your support is helping children gain the most powerful tool for their future: the ability to read.
Together, we are changing lives—one child at a time.
With gratitude,Feed an African Child (FAC)
