Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
By creating jobs and providing skills-training, CHF's work is providing aid that not only meets the immediate needs of vulnerable families, but lays the foundation for them to help themselves in the long-term.
Project Message
CHF's Food-for-Training program, for instance, is giving participants--particularly women--the opportunity to learn a new skill, earn an independent income, and build a greater sense of dignity.
- Mona Lisa Salib, Program Officer for the Middle East
