Across the Americas and the Caribbean, millions grapple with poverty, leaving them acutely exposed to the harsh realities of food insecurity and malnutrition.
Since 2015, poverty and hunger have been on a relentless rise across the Americas, including in cities across the United States, driven by displacement, climate shocks, and the lasting fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the cost of food, fuel, and fertilizer continues to surge, more families—urban and rural alike—are being pushed to the brink, struggling to meet even their most basic needs.
Global Faith For Action fights hunger and works to improve food security and livelihoods opportunities throughout Latin American, North America and the Caribbean. In the wake of natural disasters and other emergencies, we provide hygiene supplies and cash transfers to help families in crisis buy food and support local markets. We also provide mental health support for those coping with trauma.
We train health workers, parents, and others on best practices for preventing and treating malnutrition. Our research and survey teams help local authorities and partners to measure, analyze, and better understanding hunger in communities.
We empower vulnerable communities to increase their access to healthy food, income, and markets. By equipping small-scale farmers with climate-smart agriculture techniques, we help people – particularly women – learn skills, save money, and access capital to start businesses.
