Humanitarian Organization for Poverty Eradication

 Food security, as defined by the United Nations' Committee on World Food Security, means that all people, at all times, have physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their food preferences and dietary needs for an active and healthy life

We have started this initiative to help New Zealanders by providing Food Parcels at their doorsteps through Community Awareness and Preparedness Grant Fund (CAPGF) received from Ministry of Social Development. The aim of this project is to protect and support New Zealanders while staying safe at homes during COVID-19. 

Our initiative helped communities by receiving food parcels and also contributed in promoting the social distancing and slowing the spread. 

HOPE's team of volunteers designed Survival Package and planned to provide / deliver Food Parcels during COVID-19 lock down. 

This has contributed in many ways and helped our wider community/recipients families. This has also contributed in minimizing the risk of transmitting COVID-19. Food Parcels has enhanced emotional well-being of families and they felt more empowered, supported and secured of having enough food. Targeted population includes of solo parents, elderly people with disabilities, and families with young children, low budget and this has boosted their confidence to stay with their children. 

We have supported people those could not drive because of health reason, self isolation, fear of contracting infection, less food at home, or cannot access their cultural food. Providing food through CAPGF at their door step contributed towards reducing stress and worries. 

HOPE is pleased to share that we got an opportunity to work with different community based and non-governmental organizations. We have supported diverse group of people and communities to ensure the needs of food for affected population are met. ACTION AGAINST COVID-19 Helping communities to slow the spread and stay safe F
