What the Rural Anti-Poverty Initiative Is
Wellness Global Foundation is
concerned raising the standard of living for the people of Vietnamese.
In order
for people to be in good health they must have good nutrition. Proper
nutrition is still an everyday hurdle
for many of Vietnam’s poor. Vietnam has limited arable land, at only 23%
arable,
to feed the worlds 13th biggest population. This can put a
strain on the poor who are
often unable to feed their families. To address this issue Wellness
Global
Foundation began our Rural Anti-Poverty Initiative to distribute rice to
those
families whose farms could not provide both subsistence and livelihood.

| What the Rural Anti-Poverty Initiative has Achieved
WGF, with the aid of donations, has the ability to
distribute rice to many families in need. WGF partners with the Red Cross in order to recognize those families which are most in need. The Red Cross then distributes tickets to rice distribution events in the chosen village. With rice distribution event WGF had the opportunity to aid the most needy in the Villages
of Cam Duong, Hoa Hong, Buu Quang and Tam Bihn. The organization was able to have the pleasure
to visit Buddhist Temples, pagodas, middle and elementary schools and even take
part in the lunar New Year festival in Tam Bihn for 2011. Seeing the faces of
those very deserving recipients was a very valuable experience for
distributors. Wellness Global Foundation continues to expand our rural
anti-poverty initiative to give more poverty relief and to also teach new
farming techniques to alleviate hunger in the future.
