Food Security & Climate Change
We are committed to addressing food insecurity and promoting sustainable livelihoods, ensuring that communities have access to nutritious food and opportunities for economic empowerment.
The human body requires adequate, nutritious food to sustain its health and well-being. Without this basic necessity, individuals face a myriad of health issues, including malnutrition and hunger-related fatalities. At We Care CBO, our food security and nutrition program are dedicated to enhancing food security and promoting sustainable livelihoods within communities.
Food insecurity lies at the heart of food crises and emergencies, serving as an underlying cause of malnutrition, morbidity and mortality. It jeopardizes livelihoods, leading to decreased self-sufficiency and long-term damage. Addressing food insecurity is essential for ensuring the overall well-being and resilience of communities.
Our Approach
Through our food security and livelihoods program, we aim to strengthen the resilience of target communities against climate change impacts on food security and livelihoods.
Our program encompasses a diverse range of activities tailored to meet the specific needs of each community.
These initiatives focus on enhancing agricultural productivity, facilitating market access, supporting micro-enterprise ventures and improving vulnerable communities’ access to sustainable food and income sources.
Our food security and livelihoods initiatives are structured around four core focus areas:
1. Partnering With Communities To Improve Food Security:
We collaborate closely with communities, leveraging their unique resources to boost agricultural production, stimulate local markets and support small-scale enterprises. These efforts enhance access to sustainable sources of food and income while strengthening local food systems.
2. Supporting Women To Fight Hunger:
Recognizing the disproportionate impact of food insecurity on women, we prioritize their participation in hunger prevention programs. Women play a crucial role in household decision-making and are powerful allies in combating hunger. Our initiatives empower women through financial planning, savings and loans groups, enabling them to invest in businesses and cope with emergencies effectively.
3. Climate-Smart Farming Methods:
We Care CBO promotes environmentally-friendly farming practices that optimize local natural resources, including land, water, soil and seeds. By adopting climate-smart techniques, communities can cultivate nutritious crops, diversify their agricultural activities and enhance local market resilience.
