What does Feed My People do?
The Feed My People programme aims to empower disadvantaged people, particularly children, in war-affected and vulnerable communities worldwide.
Where does Feed My People work?
Feed My People supports projects in developing countries, by working through credible local partners. For example, in 2006, Feed My People supported projects in Liberia, Honduras, Haiti, Philippines, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Malawi, Guinea Bissau, Ethiopia, Zambia and Ghana.
What kind of projects does Feed My People support overseas?
All projects that Feed My People support are developed by local people overseas, in the country where the work will be carried out. All projects aim to promote “wholeness of children”, and carry out work within the 3 programme areas below:
- Disability: The aim of the Feed My People disability programme is to feed the well-being of all children, through integration and inclusion of disabled children into all projects and wider society. For example, in 2006, Feed My People supported the only Government-recognised School for the Deaf in Liberia, where 100 deaf children received food daily.
- Education: The aim of the Feed My People education programme is to feed the body and educational mind of children, through supporting safe and secure school environments and school-based feeding programmes worldwide. For example, in 2006, Feed My People constructed one school in Liberia, supported 26 schools worldwide and fed 8,900 children weekly in 40 feeding centres worldwide.
- Health and HIV and AIDS: The aim of the Feed My People health and HIV and AIDS programme is to feed the health of children through the promotion of good nutrition, the use of safe water, immunisation programmes and HIV prevention and care. For example, in 2006, Feed My People supported 2 health facilities worldwide, started a much-needed HIV prevention project in Liberia and provided emergency medical and relief supplies in 11 countries.
Who does Feed My People work with?
Feed My People works with local people in war-affected and vulnerable communities worldwide. In particular, Feed My People aims to involve the following, in all projects overseas:
- Children (especially vulnerable children, disabled children, orphans and refugees)
- Families, parents/carers and teachers of vulnerable children.
- Key stakeholders, such as Government, civil society and service-providers.
Feed My People focuses its work on need and the improvement of the well-being of children, and is therefore open to working with all people, regardless of race, religion, disability, faith or culture.
How does Feed My People work?
Feed My People supports projects, by working with local partners overseas. Through dialogue with partners overseas, primary information is gained from communities overseas, in order to determine their needs and to inform the design of future projects. Feed My People makes an effort to work with local staff, to carry out project assessments, using participatory techniques and to promote community involvement. Key people involved in the assessment, implementation and evaluation stages of any project overseas are children, adults, service providers, teachers, civil society and other relevant stakeholders. A project is more likely to be successful, if local people are involved right from the start.
