Food for the Hungry

[5] Japan and Korea aligned as Food for the Hungry International Federation (FHF) and, though loosely affiliated as members of a larger FHI "family," operate separately from FHA.

[7] NOs support this work by raising funds, supplying human resources and helping to design and evaluate field programs.

Since then, FH has focused efforts on community development including livelihoods, micro-lending, health, education and disaster response resilience.

The partnership is funded in part with grants from UNHCR, UNICEF, and others to provide psychosocial support and medical care with a special focus on vulnerable mothers and children.

In 1978, FH began working in Bolivia providing humanitarian aid in the high plains between the Andes Mountains ridge assisting with effects of El Niño.

In the Cochabamba region, FH is partnering with municipalities in 19 projects with an investment of $2,271,125 to improve community access to water and irrigation systems.

In 1990, FH began working in Cambodia by providing relief and aid to those living in refugee camps during the civil war.

FH Cambodia has supported the training of more than 200 preschool teachers in accessing this opportunity to grow their skills and become equipped to teach children well.

FH started operating in Guatemala in 1976 in response to an earthquake that killed more than 23,000 people through the provision of clothing, food and plastic sheeting for temporary shelters.

After officially establishing the office in 1981 to focus on child development, FH concentrated on meeting the needs of orphans and widows who had been affected by Guatemala's civil war.

Today the work in Guatemala has expanded and deepened to focus on long-term community development, especially in the sector of child and infant health and nutrition.

In 2018, FH Guatemala used peer education through 104 Cascade Groups to spread messages to help reduce chronic malnutrition in 4,463 children.

In 1976, FH began working in Kenya in response to a devastating drought by providing emergency supplies and relief in the Marsabit district.

Alongside The Kenya Resilient Arid Land Partnership for Integrated Development project Archived 2019-08-14 at the Wayback Machine, which benefits 70,000 people through a partnership with the Millennium Water Alliance and support from USAID and the Swiss Development Corporation, FH Kenya is implementing a program to increase access to water for people and livestock by strengthening the capacity of public, civil society, community, and private sector institutions.

The program is also undertaking initiatives to rebuild a healthy rangeland ecosystem, thereby ensuring that access to water is sufficient for multiple uses and is sustained over time.

In the past, the organization received GuideStar's Platinum Seal of Transparency, but that has since been downgraded due to a greater percentage of funding spent on administration and fundraising.
