Food security and livelihoods go hand in hand, as stable incomes enable families to access nutritious food consistently. Supporting local agriculture and job creation is key to building resilient, self-sufficient communities.
Ending world hunger isn’t about a single solution—it demands a comprehensive, multi-layered strategy. It means investing in sustainable agriculture, improving food distribution systems, supporting local farmers, and addressing the root causes of poverty and inequality. Education, clean water, and access to healthcare all play a role in building food-secure communities.
When disasters destroy infrastructure and food supplies, when violence forces thousands to flee, or when drought disrupts food production, Global Faith For Action with food, cash, and other basic supplies to prevent hunger in the short-term and help communities build resilience against future emergencies.
Through our savings and loans groups, families pool their resources and can borrow to invest in a new business or to cope in an emergency.
Global Faith For Action uses an environmentally-friendly approach to helps people make the most of their local natural resources – including land, water, soil, and seeds – and grow nutritious foods, diversify their crops, and build up local markets.
To foster collaboration and learning, we create and support farmers’ cooperatives. Some of these groups come together to collectively rent land for farming, while others share lessons learned with each other. In Uganda, many farmers’ groups are negotiating fair prices for supplies and creating local demand for nutritious crops like mushrooms.
From small grants for families recovering from conflict, to seeds and tools to invest in family farms, to livestock and veterinary services, to small business assistance, we help families regain self-sufficiency.
Global Faith For Action takes a tailored approach to address communities’ needs and harness their unique resources, boosting agricultural production, jump-starting local markets, and supporting small businesses. These efforts enhance sustainable sources of food and income while strengthening local food systems.
Our hunger prevention programs focus on women first. Why? In nearly two-thirds of the world’s countries, women are more likely than men to suffer from food insecurity. At the same time, women are our most powerful allies in the fight against hunger. Women who participate in household decisions produce and earn more – women also reinvest as much as 90% of their income back into their families, helping to improve health, nutrition, and more.
In Paguir, South Sudan, years of flooding have left the communities with little to no crops and few animals. See how the introduction of rice has transformed their lives.
