Hunger
Food. Dignity. Hope.
We respond to hunger through practical assistance while seeking longer-term solutions to vulnerability and food insecurity.
Food is a basic need, not a reward for religious participation.
Food assistance uses transparent criteria based on need. Households are identified and assessed rather than selected by whoever queues loudest or longest, so the elderly, the unwell and the distant are not excluded.
Relief is the first step, not the whole programme. Where it is appropriate we move with a household from relief to support, education, skills, livelihood and greater stability, and we work to avoid creating unnecessary dependency.
“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.”
Accountability
