“I Wanted My Support to Reach Real Families.”

Alhaji Musa wanted his charitable giving to make a visible difference. Through TMF, he supported a community food programme that connected families with food benefits and participating local vendors. Seeing families access support while local businesses served more customers helped him understand what accountable giving could achieve.

I used to wonder whether my donations were reaching the people who needed them most. With TMF, I can follow the programme’s progress and see how support is reaching families in the community.

“My Shop Was Quiet. Then New Customers Started Coming.”

Aisha ran a small provisions shop and struggled to grow sales. After joining TMF and being approved as a vendor, she began serving customers redeeming eligible food benefits. More customers meant more sales, faster-moving stock and renewed confidence in her business.

I opened my shop every day hoping for more customers. Becoming a TMF vendor gave me another opportunity to grow. I want to expand my stock and build a better future for my family.

Ibrahim Adamu · TMF Beneficiary · Adamawa State

“We Were Running Out of Food. TMF Gave Us Hope.”

When work became scarce, Ibrahim struggled to provide regular meals for his wife and children. Every day brought another difficult decision about what the family could afford. Through a sponsor-funded TMF programme, he received food support that he could redeem with an authorised vendor.

I was worried about how I would feed my children. When the support came, I felt relief. We could get food for the house and face the next day with renewed hope. My family felt remembered.
