Eradicating Hunger Project

About The Project

Initiated as part of Tkiyet Um Ali’s board of Directors’ vision to reach all households living in extreme poverty, the ‘Eradicating Hunger Project’ was set in place in 2013. Following the preparation of an ambitious and well-thought-out plan, TUA defined the objectives of its project as follows:

 

  1. To accurately identify households living in extreme poverty according to a scientific methodology that covers all areas across the Kingdom, focusing on the poorest areas, where the rate of food insecurity is high.
  2. To channel sustainable food aid to those households according to Tkiyet Um Ali’s eligibility standards and criteria.
  3. To build a comprehensive, reliable, and updated database on households assessed by Tkiyet Um Ali.
  4. To produce a digital map that includes beneficiary households by geographic distribution and characteristics.
