Poverty and Hunger
addressing food security
AIRLINE AMBASSADORS is committed
to help meet the needs of over half
the world’s population that suffers from
poverty and hunger. In 2005 we provided
$279,285 towards this focus, and initiated
nutritional feeding programs in two
countries and supported others we previously
established.
We started a food program at Caroline
Wumbai Orphanage in KENYA to provide
ongoing nutritional support for
orphans. We also donated funds to provide
meals for over 100 girls at Sri
Yasodora orphanage in SRI LANKA after
the Tsunami.
Prior to our assistance,
many of these children were only getting one meal a day. We also continued missions to ARGENTINA to support our food programs at Todos
por Una Sonrisa and El Honerito, which are now feeding hundreds of
children each week. We delivered dried milk and nutritious supplements
from Feed My Starving Children to projects in EL SALVADOR.
The agricultural
program we initiated on the Eastern Cape of SOUTH AFRICA,
the Vulundela Project, continues to provide food and income to a population
of 10,000.
