In partnership with the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) and United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), we deliver thousands of tons of food each year through “food for work/CBT - Vocational Training - RRM (Rapid Response Mechanism)” programmes to those in need. In the complex food programmes, we help the population to make a long-term sustainable living through income-generating training, agricultural, water management and infrastructural developments.
