In Southern Africa alone, more than three million people are faced with shortages of basic food and daily necessities supplies. Young vulnerable children and women are often the most affected by the shortages. Rising food prices, poor economic conditions, poverty, HIV/AIDS and drought contribute to this growing issue. Countries in the Southern Africa region have high dependency on rain fed agriculture which has become the main catalyst to hunger, because of drought in many areas. Chronic poverty in combination with illnesses, low employment rates, diminishing support to farmers and the decrease in the number of farmers, limited land resources, diseases in livestock and crops as well as unstable weather all contribute to higher than normal hunger levels. Southern Africa Embrace Foundation’s Food and Nutrition program is geared towards helping orphanages and families through nutritious food and necessities donations. We also help through the provision of seed money to assist in the purchasing of vegetables and agricultural products to enable them to farm enough crops to feed themselves. This program helps promote good health amongst the different communities we work in.
