Food Basket Foundation International (FBFI), the first indigenous Nutrition-focused, non-profit, non-governmental organization (NGO) in Nigeria, was founded in 1989 with the singular mission of helping low income families achieve food and nutrition security on a sustainable basis, especially for members of vulnerable groups. FBFI through the years has provided interventions and services with the aims of alleviating the effects of poverty, promoting nutritious practices geared toward food security, and providing a means of developing a sustainable livelihood.

FBFI continues to work, at the grassroots, toward alleviating the effects of poverty on vulnerable populations in a sustainable way; providing nutrition education along with other services and interventions to help toward healthy lifestyles, and to act as a bridge between those who need the assistance and those who can make the requisite changes to the policies that will make nutrition, food security and sustainable agriculture achievable.
