Bagalwa Foundation takes a tailored approach to address communities’ needs and harness their unique resources, boosting agricultural production, jump-starting local markets, and supporting small businesses. These efforts enhance sustainable sources of food and income while strengthening local food systems.
Our hunger prevention programs focus on women first. Why? In nearly two-thirds of the world’s countries, women are more likely than men to suffer from food insecurity. At the same time, women are our most powerful allies in the fight against hunger. Women who participate in household decisions produce and earn more – women also reinvest as much as 90% of their income back into their families, helping to improve health, nutrition, and more.
By improving families' access to nutritious food and increasing their incomes, we can prevent malnutrition and help children grow up healthy and strong.
As many as 783 million people go to bed hungry each night around the world. We must act now before it's too late.
