CARE: Defending Dignity. Fighting Poverty.

Mobilize against world hunger: Support the Global Food Security Act

With the shared understanding that educating girls around the world can help eradicate poverty, Hain Celestial personal care brands Alba Botanica®, JĀSÖN® and Avalon Organics® have joined forces with CARE® as Founding Partners of the Empower Her through Education campaign.

When a girl is hungry, focusing on anything – especially schoolwork – is a huge challenge for both her and her teacher. Girls all over the world suffer from chronic hunger and food insecurity, and poverty and access to nutritious food are real barriers to the start and completion of a girl’s education.

Hunger is an outrage and a solvable problem.

TAKE ACTION NOW

With your help, and help from people just like you, the Global Food Security Act (GFSA) has been passed.

Now, stand with us and ask President Trump to work to ensure that the Global Food Security Strategy - which addresses global hunger by putting the focus on women and smallholder food producers, and leverages the sustainable use of natural resources to address global hunger - is fully implemented.

Dear Mr.President,

*Personalize your message

On July 20, 2016, the Global Food Security Act (GFSA) was signed into law by President Obama. Quite simply, this bipartisan bill could save lives. But our work is not done. Now, we have to deliver on the promises made. As you begin your first term, we ask you that you ensure that the Global Food Security Strategy is fully implemented, particularly as it relates to women smallholder producers and natural resource management. 
CARE works all around the globe to combat hunger and malnutrition, and we need leaders in Washington to make this effort a priority.  In fact, we spent almost a decade advocating for a global food security strategy like the one required in the GFSA because we knew it would be a powerful tool for improving the lives of so many women and their families who are on the frontlines of hunger every day. Working with women is critical  80% of the food consumed in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa is produced by smallholder producers  and most are women! 
The U.S. must continue to strengthen its commitment to reduce food insecurity for the nearly 800 million people worldwide who suffer from chronic hunger. Their voices must not only be heard, but concrete actions must be taken to show that the needs of women smallholder farmers and the practice of natural resource management are both reflected in the daily implementation of the GFSA. We are asking you to make this commitment today.

Thank you for your leadership.

Sincerely,
