Added 2022-05-13 03:01:51 +0000 UTC

April is Filipino Food Month and the goal is always to celebrate Filipino cuisine, agriculture, nutrition and heritage.

This project was recommended to me by Ted! Thank you so much! 😊

From their project page on GlobalGiving.org:

This project will provide monthly supply of food to 200 very poor and marginalized elderly people living in 3 villages. With food supply very scarce nowadays with the Coronavirus pandemic and poor farm harvest due to low soil fertility and pest infestation, hunger is felt by the elderly poor and there is a need to provide them with food from outside sources.

We will provide food supply comprising rice, dried fish, milk and meat to elderly people who are most vulnerable to hunger and malnutrition. We will touch-base with barrio authorities in order to identify them and enroll into our long-term food delivery initiative. Aside from food, we will provide them with activities that they can do like vegetable gardening, home hobbies and the like.

💛 You can find more information about the Asset-Based Community Development with Equity Foundation and what they do on their website and GlobalGiving Org page. They currently have 26 projects that span from food security to biodiversity.

💛 The amount we donated, according to their page, is enough to help provide food for 1 elderly person for four days.

💛 If you would like to donate through GlobalGiving as well, you can take a look at this page of projects! They let you search by country and theme, so you can easily find projects close to your home and heart. ❤️️

As always, thank you so much for being here and helping to support these causes. 🌻 If you have any themes or organizations in mind for our next donation (food-related, safety and security, reproductive health, etc) feel free to send me your recommendations!
