Program Description:
Hunger needs are ever-present in our world. If hunger is on-going, and the need is not met; malnutrition often leads to illness or even death. In many regions where hunger is widespread, IDES is involved in the distribution of basic staples (such as rice, beans, and corn). In select communities, located in 5 different nations, we sponsor feeding programs which are designed to continue for 12 months.
