NURTURE POSTERITY INTERNATIONAL is impacting peoples lives through devised ways that facilitate the improvement of African health, nutrition and food systems for the benefit of people especially vulnerable groups at the bottom of the pyramid.
Impact the lives of people living in poverty especially children, women and the youth; through devising and implementing new technological advances to achieve the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Design and implement sustainable solutions that bridge inequitable access to safe and nutritious food so that by 2063, the African continent will be free from malnutrition, food insecurity, climate change and poverty.
53% of the people around the world are more worried about climate change in 2024 than was the case in 2023. 72% want countries to move away from the use of fossil fuels and quickly start using clean energy. 84% of the people in the world’s biggest economies want countries to collaborate on climate action. 69% said climate change greatly impacts their big life decisions, i.e., from where they choose to work and live or what they choose to buy.
Africa’s overall Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will decrease by 2.3% to 12.1%, due to a 1°C to 4°C increase in global temperature relative to the pre-industrial levels.

Despite food being the third most basic need, after air and water; the world is not on track to end hunger by 2030. Despite all multi-sectoral efforts to end hunger by 2030, 2.33 billion people (one-third) still lacked access to nutritious, safe and sufficient food globally, and one out of every five people experienced hunger in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
In addition, 37.7 million (82.2%) Ugandans, 45.8million (86.5%) Kenyans, 54.1million (85.0%) Tanzanians, 11.0million (82.0%) Rwandans and 12.0million (95.9%) Burundians could not afford a healthy diet. The number of food insecure people in Africa has surpassed that of other global regions (Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean, Oceania, Northern America and Europe). Latin America and the Caribbean has made significant progress towards achieving the broader sustainable development goals, especially Target 1 and 2 of the SDG#2; but unfortunately, Africa will still have the highest prevalence of food insecurity and malnutrition by 2030.

Despite all multi-sectoral efforts on poverty eradication, the world is not on track to end poverty by 2030. In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the multidimensional poverty rate is still very high (52.2%), with more than 534 million poor people (47.8%). In addition, 35.4% still suffer from monetary deprivation. Also, in SSA, 48.9%, 66.6% and 30.4% are still deprived of quality education, reliable electricity, proper sanitation and safe drinking water.
In Uganda, the multidimensional poverty rate is at 52.2%, and 42.1% suffer from monetary deprivation. In addition, 31.4%, 41.3%, 71.1%, 23.7% are still deprived of quality education, reliable electricity, proper sanitation and safe drinking water.
