A way to provide for themselves.

Muscle power,
and
a drive to take care of their own.

Family,
Community,
and
Hunger (which is an asset if it motivates a
person to work, but not if it enervates or kills them). |

Money or other assets,
Sophisticated job skills

A Backyard Agriculture Project
gives hungry people what they need:
an opportunity to provide for themselves,
while asking of them what they do have,
and not requiring of them what they don't.
Help for the Hungry is a nutrition rescue program focused on rural communities experiencing severe economic difficulties.
Advanced agricultural techniques already employed by existing businesses are made available to rural villagers via contractual relationships encouraged by the HFTH organization.
Sophisticated web based communication technologies are applied to previously difficult to solve issues.
