2.6 billion people lack access to proper sanitation. Often it takes just a few simple resources for impoverished people to be able to become self-sufficient. These resources include quality seeds, appropriate tools, and access to water. Small improvements in farming techniques and food storage are also helpful. Many hunger experts believe that ultimately the best way to reduce hunger is through education.
Educated people are best able to break the cycle of poverty that causes hunger.
LIFE's food factories in Mozambique and Angola are making enough food to supply the more than 120 nutritional feeding programs operating throughout Africa. At the feeding centers, the mix is combined with clean water and boiled for 1-2 hours while being stirred regularly. This nutritional porridge provides essential nutrients to children, pregnant and nursing mothers, the aged and people with physical disabilities. Donations for mission feeding are multiplied five times. Click here to help support this vital ministry.
