ENDING POVERTY TOGETHER

ABOUT US
We have worked since 1971 to serve the most vulnerable people on earth through purposeful relief and development. Our methodology is informed by our Christian beliefs that every person has intrinsic value and that it is our responsibility to advocate for the poor and the marginalized.
GIVE
We believe that when communities are trained and equipped to care for their most vulnerable, the entire community is lifted and poverty can be overcome. We serve communities through life-changing resources such as clean water, medical aid, food, equal educational opportunities to girls and boys, vocational training and empowerment in the midst of unimaginable hardships.
PARTNERSHIPS
The world is hungry, but the emptiness goes far beyond the table. The need is physical and spiritual. People hunger for opportunity, starve for resources, and have been stripped of value. These injustices keep us up at night.
NEWS & STORIES
FH has been serving those who are living through unimaginable hardships for fifty years and today, FH works in more than 20 countries around the world providing life-changing resources such as clean water, medical aid, food, education, vocational training, spiritual development and hope.
GET INVOLVED
We’re praising God for your willingness to answer the call and serve a child whom you’ve never even met. Your generosity means another child can grow up healthy and educated. We believe that when we equip a community to care for its most vulnerable members, we can serve everyone and see poverty eliminated.

ACTIVE EMERGENCY

Rohingya Refugee Emergency Response

Over a million people are displaced and are located in temporary camps in the Cox’s Bazar District of Bangladesh. They are in need of ongoing humanitarian assistance. The camps are densely populated and plagued by frequent fires and flooding, sexual and gender-based violence, and open defecation.

Those living in the camps are subjected to life-threatening conditions and extreme weather, including monsoons and cyclones. Crowding is causing increases in the spread of Dengue fever, Scabies, Diphtheria, and severe skin diseases. Health care including emotional support and enhanced security in the camps are urgently needed to save lives

1.46 MILLION DISPLACED PEOPLE

are located in the Cox’s Bazar District in Bangladesh

62.9%

are Rohingya refugees

918,841

of those in the camps are women and girls

Food for the Hungry (FH) is working directly with 94,467 refugees in Camps 5, 7, and 12. FH’s immediate focus is on keeping pregnant women and young children alive by providing them with food and primary health care services. FH is also providing ongoing psycho-social support, particularly to women in the camps.

Should funds raised for this effort exceed the budgeted need, remainders will be used in the best possible way to help communities challenged by poverty, injustice and marginalization. FH is accountable before God and you to use gifts wisely. As members of Excellence in Giving and the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, we also abide by their strict reporting standards.
