Morato Group and Azione Contro la Fame join forces for lives free of hunger
Over the years, Italy and Europe have seen a constant rise in poverty with a growing number of families at risk of food insecurity. At the same time, precarious work is on the rise, and women are the ones suffering the most, as they often shoulder family responsibilities as well.
This year, Morato Group has decided to sponsor “Mai più fame: dall’emergenza all’autonomia” (No more hunger: from emergency to self-sufficiency), a project in which Azione Contro la Fame assists families in need with a transformative journey combining immediate support with training to help participants become self-sufficient and find steady jobs. Program participants are identified with the support of institutions, local social services and domestic violence shelters, prioritizing families with two or more minors (especially children under the age of five), unemployed or underemployed parents, pregnant women, new mothers and women who have suffered violence.
The program consists of three steps
- FOOD VOUCHERS, in the form of monthly electronic cards that can be used at supermarkets, for immediate nutritional support.
- NUTRITION EDUCATION, to help participants navigate a healthy, well-balanced diet.
- EMPLOYABILITY ASSISTANCE, with a group project to improve participants’ personal and professional skills, making it easier for them to find jobs.
We are proud to contribute to this important project. It is an honour to provide genuine support to those most in need, so that together we can make a difference.
Azione Contro la Fame is an international humanitarian organization committed to guaranteeing everyone’s right to a life free of hunger. For 46 years, it has worked to root out hunger and malnutrition, treat their effects and prevent the causes.
