We provide individuals, especially children, with food, shelter and access to education. Nutrition is key for learning and development — a hungry child can't learn well. The immediate goal is to provide a warm and nutritious lunch to a child. Long term, the aim is to help eradicate hunger from the planet.
Social change seeks to solve a problem at its root, and aims at greater self-reliance. Real solutions must integrate the best of traditional and modern practices — natural healthcare, organic agriculture and dairy farms, renewable energy, healthy housing, respect for indigenous cultures, personal self-development, environmental awareness.
The World Wildlife Foundation reports that for twenty years we have lived in a way that far exceeds the carrying capacity of the Earth. Villages in developing countries can help themselves and the planet by adopting sustainable technologies and social systems.
