Food first, then the rest of a life.
First the body: food, clothing, shelter and health care. Then the mind: school, a trade and a mentor. And the spirit: the Word of God for anyone who wants it.

A faith-based charity in Uyo.
Our story, our board and team, and how to reach us or check that a message is really from GAMAID.
Check our official channelsSubsidised or free meals for those who can pay little or nothing at all. Food items and fresh farm produce for vulnerable individuals and families.
We’ve seen students waiting for their next allowance, graduates without work, low-paid workers and families going through a difficult month go hungry quietly.
Nobody can study, train or look for work on an empty stomach. So this is where everything else starts. Not because it is the most dramatic need, but because it is the most fundamental one. You cannot sit in a seminar on financial prudence if you have not eaten since yesterday. You cannot show up for a skills class if your body is running on nothing. You cannot sleep if you are thinking about where tomorrow’s meal will come from.
4 parts to GAMAID Food
Open every day, Monday to Sunday. The kitchen is at 15 Ikpa Road, Uyo. Run in partnership with Bethel Farms, which supplies vegetables, garri, eggs, poultry and fish directly from its own farmland.
We aim to provide one meal a day, free of charge, for students who have run out of allowance, unemployed graduates, widows, orphans, displaced families, and people who are strangers to the city and have arrived with nothing.
Groceries assembled into household packs for orphans, widows, displaced families, and people living in GAMAID shelters. Donated food items from individuals and organisations are received, inspected for quality, and repacked into healthy, usable portions for distribution.
Bethel Farms, GAMAID’s agricultural partner, supplies the kitchen with fresh vegetables, garri, eggs, poultry and fish. Farm-to-kitchen sourcing reduces cost, improves nutritional quality, and gives the kitchen a supply chain it can count on.
We ask two questions: are you hungry, and can you afford a meal? If the answer to the second is no, we provide.
Help is never conditional on faith. Other ways to reach us
Fill in our potential beneficiaries’ list online, or come to our office at 15 Ikpa Road, Uyo to make enquiries.
Every gift to food is spent on food. Nothing else. When you give to GAMAID Food, you are paying for ingredients, cooking fuel, serving equipment, and the time of the kitchen team.
Card, bank transfer or USSD in naira; dollars or pounds from abroad; PayPal, Zelle or GoFundMe from the US.
We will show what a gift pays for once the costs are confirmed against our records.
All ways to give →GAMAID has been a lifeline for me. Bethlehem Kitchen fed me when I couldn’t afford meals. Because my basic needs were being met, I could focus entirely on building my skills. That stability changed everything.
