Although we still carry out emergency food relief, the main focus of our work has shifted towards addressing the root causes of poverty and community risk through longer-term rehabilitation and development. This includes governance, water and sanitation, education, and being prepared for future emergencies. Our programs particularly support women and girls in rural and urban areas. We work to combat child marriage and support children and women affected by HIV and AIDS. Through vocational training and access to savings and loans, we help people earn a decent living.
Hunger and malnutrition remain the leading threats to public health worldwide.
The story of global health in the last decades is the story of staggering inequality.
Education and the right to work are the most powerful tools in overcoming extreme poverty.
We cannot end poverty while inequality persists. Discrimination against women has negative implications for everyone.
