Food Security & Livelihoods

 

The objective of Help a Child’s Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) activities is to improve the food security of vulnerable households in the long term. Depending on the situation, Help a Child combines various short-term, mid-term, and long-term interventions. Over the entire line, but especially in our community development projects, Help a Child’s focus has been to involve young people in agricultural activities, thus boosting food security in their communities while at the same time creating income and livelihood opportunities for the next generation.

 

Core interventions:

  • Formation and strengthening of (youth) farmer groups;
  • Participatory Integrated Plan (PIP) to help households to envision their future;
  • Value chain and SME assessment;
  • Lobby and advocacy in relation to access to training, land, and microfinance;
  • Community-based disaster risk reduction;
  • Life-saving food aid (maize flour, oil, beans, seeds, tools, cash  etc.).
