itel marks World Food Day with community empowerment drive

Leading mobile technology and smart life brand itel Nigeria commemorated World Food Day 2025 with a Corporate Social Responsibility initiative aimed at promoting nutrition, education, and community empowerment in Rivers State.

The outreach, themed ‘Nourish to Flourish’, took place in the Kpite and Bunu communities within the Tai Local Government Area last week, benefiting hundreds of children and their families.

In partnership with the Lagos Food Bank Initiative, the CSR team visited schools including Divine Academy, St James Academy, and Primary Schools 1–3 in Kpite Community, as well as Divine Grace Schools and Model Primary Schools 1–3 in Bunu Community.

Pupils received freshly cooked meals, including jollof rice and fish, alongside branded school bags, mathematical sets, and water bottles to support both their nutrition and educational development.

The initiative aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger), 3 (Good Health and Well-being), and 4 (Quality Education), reinforcing itel’s commitment to meaningful social impact beyond its technology offerings.

Speaking at the event, PR Supervisor at itel Nigeria, Terngu Shagba, emphasised the brand’s focus on holistic community development.
