What started as a small Abuja outreach has grown into a movement touching lives in 3+ countries Nigeria, Uk, USA, and beyond.
"We didn't plan to grow, we just kept showing up."
" In 2018, Ruth Nwaeze started PureVessel International in Abuja, not with an office or funding, but with a simple mission: to ensure no one faces hunger alone. That first December, the team reached 47 children in an orphanage near Gwagwalada, Abuja.
" The organization officially incorporated in 2023. Since then, PureVessel has expanded programs across Nigeria, the UK, and the USA, supporting families, schools, and communities with food, care, and educational outreach.
"The need kept showing us the way."
