A staple food to fight hunger

Rice and beans are staple foods in many countries where we help. The grain and legume combination provides several essential nutrients. For example, a serving contains 279 calories, 7.2 grams of fat, 11 grams of protein, and 43 grams of carbohydrates. Every year we provide over 80 million meals to families in need.

Intergenerational poverty

Our assistance programs encompass various areas, including education, treated water, health, and micro-enterprise, with food assistance being one of the key pillars. Gifts that fund our food assistance program help rebuild impoverished communities and place them on a sustainable path. They are based on simple cost-effective ideas that make a difference on the ground thanks to our donors and partners.
