About FH Canada:
Founded in 1988, Food for the Hungry Canada or FH Canada (FHC) is part of the global Food for the Hungry association dedicated to ending poverty one community at a time. FH Canada takes an integrated approach towards eradicating poverty and achieving sustainability. Its programs focus on agriculture, education, health, leadership and gender equality. In F2016, FHC worked with 57 communities in 9 countries around the world. FHC has operations in Ethiopia, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Guatemala, Haiti, Peru, Bangladesh and Cambodia.
Some program highlights from F2016 include: 4 million servings of soup were delivered to people in need in Burundi and Guatamala; 8,331 tree saplings were given to farmers; food, water, and blankets were given to 7,569 families; 11 new water wells were dug in Ethiopia, providing clean water to 2,673 people; and 847 new children were sponsored, bringing the total children sponsored to 5,631.
FHC aims to work alongside communities, helping them become independent and sustainable. As of F2016, 54 communities across 11 countries reached graduation, meaning that they no longer require FHC’s assistance.
