When opening an orphanage in a new area, we are faced
with a multitude of needs in those communities. One of them is the
lack of food and people begging us for help. That's why we have
decided on three different kind of feeding programs. |
Feeding Stations
|
There are times of special needs in
the communities like in the wake of floods, droughts or tropical
storms, when people depend on temporary help. Feeding stations will
provide either warm meals or distribute food items such as rice or
flour.
 |
Supplemental Feeding Program
|
|
The Supplemental
Feeding Program is designed to help families in poverty-stricken
areas to overcome their immediate need and to become self-reliant.
Mothers are invited to help with the food preparation and are taught
how to prepare healthy meals for their families. In addition, they
receive instructions in basic health care.

Operation Survival-Pak |
|
With the help of
doctors and health care workers in the Philippines, we have prepared
a ‘survival-pak’ which is tailor-made for malnourished children. In
many cases, their weakened body can no longer digest regular food,
and they are literally fighting for their survival. Each
survival-pak contains a balanced nutritious mix that a child’s body
can easily absorb.
