Relief & Aid
We partner with churches, NGOs and communities to open food banks nationwide and to identify the needy families that can benefit from our food banks. We also believe the only way for people to move beyond chronic hunger and their vulnerability to ever-rising food prices is to employ sustainable methods based on self-reliance so Commission International provides the tools and training to increase farm production at the local level; empowers partners to create, stock and manage their own food banks; and encourages clusters of rural villages to develop sustainable, self-reliant, hunger-free communities.
EMERGENCE RESPONSE - FOOD BANK PROJECT
Over 40,000 People Fed in Amuru & Pabo IDP Camps in War Torn Northern Uganda
By 2018, there were over 925 million hungry people in the world according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. Numerous cases remain unrecorded. No one knows the actual number of people affected. To date, hunger kills more people compared to Aids and malaria with over 14,000 dying daily. The worst hit by this atrocity are women and children.
Hunger has become a deadly disease in most parts of Africa with a total of 820 million hungry people in developing countries today. In addition are the escalating food prices that have created an additional strain to equal access to food in Africa and Uganda as a Nation. Not every poor person is hungry, but almost all hungry people are poor. Millions live with hunger and malnourishment because they simply cannot afford to buy enough food, afford nutritious foods or the farming supplies they need to grow enough good food of their own. Hunger can be viewed as a dimension of extreme poverty. It is often called the most severe and critical manifestation of poverty. Commission International works with key players in the country to develop a sustainable solution to the increasing food insecurity.
Special thanks to UN – World Food Program for positively responding to our proposal for Food items that fed over 40,000 people in IDP Camps in Northern Uganda. More thanks to the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) for accepting to provide massive security for our mission team and volunteers during these (Feed the Hungry) missions in the war torn areas.
The food supplies to our Food Bank Project were estimated at $200,000.
