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

Our vision : a world without hunger

A billion persons suffer from hunger, two thirds of which are farmers and their families who mainly live in developing countries. Those families have no access to sufficient and quality food, mainly because of 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 a rural environment:

• by supporting farmer agriculture and its actors in developing countries, namely by giving them the means to carry out concrete and efficient actions so as to improve their income and to defend their interests. SOS Faim supports mostly 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 involved in a solidarity and community approach framework. A solidarity which is expressed through partnerships aiming at creating equality with Southern actors. A solidarity which is also expressed 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 take over the demands of our Southern partners to the Belgian and European authorities.
