In my village it's hard to get enough to eat, especially for me as an elderly widow. I'm happy to receive this help and to see that people are thinking of me and my children.

Where we work
Frequently asked questions
How are distributions organised?
Distributions take the form of family parcels given to the families most in need. One parcel feeds a family of 5 or more for a month. All smaller donations are pooled to make up complete parcels.
Who benefits from my donation?
Families living in hardship, elderly and isolated people, people with disabilities, children, refugees, widows and single-parent families.
How can I follow my donation?
You'll regularly receive photo updates by email showing your donations at work in the field. We also share photos and videos every day on our social media: Facebook, Instagram.
How do you get the food to each country?
To support the local economy and keep costs down, food is bought locally in bulk.
What's in the parcels?
What goes into a parcel depends on the country. Example for France: onions, potatoes, rice, semolina, tomato purée, flour, salt, oil, tuna, dates, sugar, brick pastry sheets, vermicelli, diced tomatoes, chickpeas, biscuits. Example for Palestine: meat, pasta, tomato purée, beans, tuna, rice, crushed lentils, lentils, flour, sugar, salt, oil, yeast, tea, white beans, packs of cheese, noodles, powdered milk. Example for Togo: rice, oil, sugar, tea, salt, pasta, maize.
Can I donate securely?
Rest assured, you can donate in complete security.
Our website is 100% secure, and we take all reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of your data.
Your donation is collected through platforms specialising and experienced in providing technical support to charities (Gocardless, Paypal and Stripe).
All bank details used to process payments are encrypted (SSL protocol). They are never stored on our IT systems.
To check that your payment details are protected when you donate, look for the padlock 🔒 in your browser's address bar.
Can I fund a meal for the same person or for different people?
Here's how this campaign works: we put together family parcels for a family of around 5 people, containing 150 meals and 150 breakfasts.
So we can't guarantee that your donation will feed 30 different people. However, we can assure you that a €30 donation will indeed provide 30 different meals!
Will I receive a tax receipt?
You'll receive an annual tax receipt early next year, allowing you to deduct 66% of your donation from your income tax, up to 20% of your taxable income. So a €100 donation actually costs you just €34.
