Imagine living in a country listed as one of the poorest and most expensive at the same time?

Venezuela is going through a huge economic crisis like ever happened in South American history.

Political conflicts and institutional crisis in the last three decades have unleashed the world’s biggest inflation that wiped out the value of wages, in turn, making it inaccessible for people to feed their families.

The consequences of this crisis are a high unemployment rate, and a drop in the purchasing power to less than 1% to buy basic food. This has resulted in high rates of malnutrition in children and the elderly.

The unemployment rate is one of the highest in the world, but for those who work it is not very different. People that work can’t afford to buy the basic food to feed their families.

Recent statistics show that a household with 2 minimum wages and 2 food tickets (provided by the government of Venezuela), would have a monthly income in Venezuelan coin of Bs. 1,600,000.00. With this amount, it is NOT enough to even eat 1 day.

Studies report that a family requires 222 minimum wages in Venezuelan currency just to cover their basic food expenses. That’s 18.5 years of work. 

According to these numbers, nearly 90% of Venezuelans live in poverty and 79% are in a state of extreme poverty.

We are donating food backs to families that are living in extreme poverty and that cannot afford to buy food. 

Our purpose is to alleviate the lives of those who have been most affected by this devastating reality.

We are donating food baskets to single mothers, the elderly, widows, orphans, people with physical disabilities who cannot work to provide for their family, jobless families, among others.

Food baskets contain non-perishable items such as canned food, rice, pasta, beans, as well as medium-life products such as eggs, cheese, milk, and bread.
