  • But When Chand Became a Food for the Hungry Sponsored Child, Things
    In looking back on 2018... I see how much change you’ve made possible in the hardest places around the globe through your partnership with Food for the Hungry (FH). I am in awe of the impact you’ve had on countless families and children. Thank you for your faithful support. As you read this report, I hope you’ll see — as I did — the many ways you’ve contributed to ending poverty in countries like Guatemala, Bangladesh, and Uganda. Through your prayers, generous gifts, and God’s grace, you’ve helped leaders and families work toward a sustainable, poverty-free future. Communities now live with renewed hope and vitality. That’s because at FH, we plan our exit strategy when we enter a community. It is thrilling to see communities take control of their future. We couldn’t do this without the help of so many compassionate partners and friends, like you. I’m also grateful for the new partnerships we have with more Christian artists — like music veteran TobyMac or American Idol star Mandisa. These inspiring leaders use their platform to appeal for sponsoring children. I look forward to welcoming more in 2019. Another highlight of last year was the growth of the Children in Crisis fund. These small gifts of $4 or $5 have been key to providing emergency services and relief when disaster or violence strikes vulnerable communities. In 2018, you stepped out in faith as together we follow Jesus. There has been a profound impact on the lives of the most vulnerable in over 20 countries.

  • Ambassador George Ward
    Ambassador (ret.) George Ward Senior Vice President for International Programs World Vision Testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Hearing On Child Hunger and Malnutrition September 26, 2006 Introduction Mr. Chairman, thank you for holding this critical hearing on child hunger and malnutrition. It is a privilege to be here with such a distinguished panel. My name is George Ward and I am the Senior Vice-President for International Programs at World Vision. World Vision is a Christian relief and development organization dedicated to helping children and their communities worldwide reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty. We operate in nearly 100 counties with 23,000 employees. World Vision has over 3 million private donors and supporters from every Congressional district within the United States who partner with us in fighting global poverty. I am also representing the Alliance for Food Aid, which is comprised of 15 private voluntary organizations and co-ops that conduct international food aid programs.1 The Adventist Development and Relief Agency currently chairs the Alliance for Food Aid and the Alliance’s Executive Director is Ellen Levinson. PVO Contributions Mr. Chairman, it is a great tragedy that there are 400 million hungry children in the world today. About one-third of these children are under the age of five, and underweight. Poor nutrition during critical growth phases results in poor physical and cognitive development. 1 Members of the Alliance for Food Aid include: Adventist Development & Relief Agency International, ACDI/VOCA, Africare, American Red Cross, Counterpart International, Food for the Hungry International, Joint Aid Management, International Orthodox Christian Charities, International Relief & Development, Land O’Lakes, OIC International, Partnership for Development, Project Concern, United Methodist Committee on Relief, and World Vision 2 It is all the more tragic that the world has the know-how to solve the problem of child hunger and malnutrition and yet has not done so.

    Appointment of CTCO Chief Talent & Culture Officer TABLE OF CONTENTS Chair of the Board’s Introduction Letter 3 Organizational Profile 4 Key Opportunities and Challenges 11 Role Description 13 Expression of Interest 17 2 CHAIR OF THE BOARD’S INTRODUCTION LETTER Dear potential candidate, Let me first thank you for giving your time to learn more about the Food for the Hungry (FH), the current context of our work, and our desire for a Chief Talent and Culture Officer (CTCO) who can lead us forward at this point in the life of our organization. We stand at a pivotal moment in our 49-year history. By God’s grace, we come to this moment from a position of strength. In the following pages you will read about our organization, what lies at the heart of who we are, our history, the scope of our work and partnerships, and the approach we take to accomplish the vision set forth by our founder, Dr. Larry Ward: TO SEE ALL FORMS OF HUMAN POVERTY ENDED WORLDWIDE. You will also read about the opportunities and challenges before us and, indeed, before you, if you should become the next Chief Talent and Culture Officer of Food for the Hungry. At this particular point in time in our history, we believe it is imperative that Food for the Hungry: • grows from being an organization that is U.S.-centric with three Global North supporting affiliates to becoming a global organization; • increases its influence to uphold the cause of the oppressed; • leverages our organizational ‘footprint’ in ways which are increasingly innovative and nimble; • develops an organizational profile best-suited to deliver on our vision during these complex and rapidly changing times; • continues to strengthen the core, never losing sight of who we are and what we’re about.

  • International Food Assistance: Food for Peace Nonemergency Programs
    International Food Assistance: Food for Peace Nonemergency Programs August 21, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45879 SUMMARY R45879 International Food Assistance: Food for Peace August 21, 2019 Nonemergency Programs Emily M. Morgenstern The U.S. government provides international food assistance to promote global food security, Analyst in Foreign alleviate hunger, and address food crises among the world’s most vulnerable populations. Assistance and Foreign Congress authorizes this assistance through regular agriculture and international affairs Policy legislation, and provides funding through annual appropriations legislation. The primary channel for this assistance is the Food for Peace program (FFP), administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Established in 1954, FFP has historically focused primarily on meeting the emergency food needs of the world’s most vulnerable populations; however, it also manages a number of nonemergency programs. These lesser-known programs employ food to foster development aims, such as addressing the root causes of hunger and making communities more resilient to shocks, both natural and human- induced. Nonemergency activities, which in FY2019 are funded at a minimum annual level of $365 million, may include in-kind food distributions, educational nutrition programs, training on agricultural markets and farming best practices, and broader community development initiatives, among others. In building resilience in vulnerable communities, the United States, through FFP, seeks to reduce the need for future emergency assistance. Similar to emergency food assistance, nonemergency programs use U.S. in-kind food aid—commodities purchased in the United States and shipped overseas. In recent years, it has also turned to market-based approaches, such as procuring food in the country or region in which it will ultimately be delivered (also referred to as local and regional procurement, or LRP) or distributing vouchers and cash for local food purchase.

  • Food for the Hungry Welcomes Inclusion of International COVID-19 Assistance in the American Rescue Plan Act
    Food for the Hungry Welcomes Inclusion of International COVID-19 Assistance in the American Rescue Plan Act Washington, DC (March 11, 2021) As COVID-19 continues to devastate low- and middle-income ​ communities worldwide – disrupting critical and life-saving services that provide food, water, and healthcare to the world’s most vulnerable people – Food for the Hungry welcomes inclusion of necessary resources to support those in need around the world in the American Rescue Plan Act. The emergency stimulus package allocates $10.8 billion in international response funding to ensure that years of historic development progress are not erased by the COVID-19 pandemic and to help prevent additional vulnerable people from slipping into poverty. The nearly $11 billion in global response funds will provide: ● $800 million for Food for Peace Title II emergency food assistance through in-kind food commodities from U.S. farmers to provide food to hungry families; ● $905 million for activities that will prevent, detect, and respond to COVID-19 ● $3.05 billion for international disaster relief, emergency health activities, and emergency food security assistance ● $3.75 billion to fight HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria, and to protect related programming from the impacts of COVID-19 ● $500 million to address COVID-19 within refugee and displaced populations, among other vital funding provisions.

  • Fragile Environments, Resilient Communities 3 Executive Summary • Bread for the World Institute
    Executive Summary 2017 Hunger Report Fragile Environments, Resilient Communities 3 Executive Summary • Bread for the World Institute Freedom House Executive Summary Executive Summary The world has made dramatic progress against hunger and extreme poverty in recent decades. In 1990, approximately one in four people in the world lived with hunger on a daily basis. By 2015, the hunger rate was cut nearly in half and stood at about one in nine. Over the same period, extreme poverty was cut by even more, from one in three people in the world to one in ten. At no other time in human history has progress against hunger and poverty occurred so rapidly. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) provided a framework to mobilize global action against hunger and poverty and other development objectives. The MDGs were not the only reason for this dramatic progress but they made a difference. Buoyed by this progress, in September 2015, heads of state and government from around the world adopted a new and much more ambitious set of global goals known as the Sustainable Develop- ment Goals (SDGs). The 17 interrelated goals include goals to end hunger and poverty by 2030. See Figure ES.1. www.hungerreport.org • 2017 Hunger Report 4 Ending Hunger in Fragile Times and Fragile Places Recent trends give optimists good reason to believe that ending hunger and poverty is within reach. At the same time, the world faces daunting challenges. Tragedies on an unimaginable scale are occurring in different parts of the world. The wars in Syria and South Sudan and the near famine conditions in places where war and climate change collide are enough to challenge anyone’s optimism about ending hunger and poverty.

  • Food for the Hungry COVID-19 Response
    Food for the Hungry COVID-19 Response 1 April 2020 On March 11, 2020, The World Health Organization declared the spread of the coronavirus a pandemic. The virus which causes COVID-19 has spread to most of the countries, regions, and territories around the world and it currently places a significant threat on areas with weaker healthcare infrastructure and fewer social safety nets. Food for the Hungry is aware of the catastrophic potential of the disease in the places we work. This includes people in refugee and displaced persons camps; countries ravaged by conflict; regions of extreme poverty; and women, children, people living with disabilities and the elderly who will be disproportionately affected by these types of emergencies. FH is not new to responding to public health emergencies or the secondary effects of similar disasters. Our community-level programming in Africa, Asia and Latin America places the organization and its staff in a unique position to pivot quickly to the needs of vulnerable communities who will be deeply affected by the spread of the virus. Our Response FH’s response plan is shaped by four pillars: 1. Ensuring staff and community safety as existing programming is adapted: The safety of staff, partners, and participants is a priority. FH is adapting programming to ensure all stakeholders are able to abide by WHO and national governments’ guidelines to reduce the spread of the virus. This includes creative programming in education, agriculture, and livelihoods, and the use of technology to share health and WASH messages. Staff support also includes Duty of Care and adapted security plans.
