Your Support Makes a Big Impact for Children
However, there is still more to do...
Hunger and poverty have been increasing worldwide.
This has created dire situations for children and families, with nearly 1 in 3 people, unable to access the food they need.
And that number is rising.
How Your Ongoing Support Makes a Difference
School Meals Provide Food Security and Keep Children in Schools
School meal programs are instrumental in helping improve attendance and reduce school drop-out. And knowing that their children eat a healthy meal at school, also means that parents have fewer meals to provide at home. This allows them to stretch resources to pay for other household expenses and provide necessities for the family.
This year we need your support to provide more than 4 million school meals to feed children in Canada and around the world.
Gardens are a simple solution that create big change
Last year your support helped grow 108 community and home gardens in Bolivia, helping to bring healthy and affordable food to children and their families. This year we are asking donors to help build and maintain 126 home gardens in Bolivia that will produce healthy food. In addition, we will be helping 400 children to build and maintain gardens at their schools and after school programs.
As a new initiative this year, 25 gardeners in Bolivia will receive training to grow flowers alongside their vegetables as another product they can sell in their local markets. This will increase their income and provide their families with greater financial stability.
Food Forests help create food sovereignty
In many Indigenous communities in Canada food isn’t easily accessible or affordable for community members. One way that your support is helping to solve this problem is by building food forests; a nature-inspired agricultural system that provides fruits, vegetables, other edibles, medicines and more. Unlike a traditional farm, a food forest is self-sustaining once it is established. This means it can feed families for generations while helping Indigenous communities re-establish food sovereignty.
In 2019 Canadian Feed The Children, in partnership with the Muskeg Lake Cree Nation, built a 2.5 acre food forest in the Nation. It was so successful that this year food forests are being planned in three more communities. And we also plan to expand the food forest in Muskeg Lake. This will benefit over 11,000 band members among the four communities.
