HOW WE HELP
Food security is the measure of the availability of food and individuals’ ability to access it.
Even in a world of abundance, over 800 million people across the world still suffer the effects of hunger and malnutrition, with children being the worst affected. Studies show that one of the highest return-on-investment interventions for a poor country is to ensure that children receive adequate nutrition during their first 5 years, as it ensures healthy growth that prevents problems and creates dividends in the form of productive and happy people.
Malnutrition and hunger can cripple the lives of people, threaten the lives of children, make people unproductive, and threaten the futures of many communities.
Key focus areas

- Expand seasonal security food programs like Qurbani and Ramadan
