SOS Faim is a development NGO striving against hunger and rural poverty

Our vision : a world without hunger

Among one billion people suffering from hunger two thirds are farmers and their families who mainly live in developing countries. Those families have no access to a quantitatively and qualitatively sufficient alimentation.This is particularly due to their poverty. The NGO SOS Faim fights against this unacceptable situation.

Our mission : to support farmer agriculture and its actors

The main goal pursued by the NGO SOS Faim is to reduce hunger and poverty in the rural area:

• by supporting farmer agriculture and its actors in developing countries, namely by enhabling them to carry out concrete and efficient actions in order to improve their income and to defend their interests. SOS Faim supports mainly farmer organisations, as well as microfinance institutions.
• by raising awareness in Northern populations in order to influence policies having an impact on hunger and poverty in developing countries.

Our values : partnership, solidarity, community approach

The mission carried out by SOS Faim is embedded in a solidarity and community approach framework. Solidarity, which is evidenced by partnerships in the spirit of equality. Solidarity which is evidenced as well by the support of thousands of loyal donors. A Community approach which aims at raising awareness and mobilize a network of Belgian citizens in order to transfer the demands of our Southern partners to the Belgian, Luxemburgish and European authorities.
