Prepared by: Hammad Abdul Hafiz

Recent Developments

Alhamdulillah, the Feed, Grow, Empower Nepal initiative continues to make meaningful progress despite limited resources.

Additional food distributions have been organized, reaching more vulnerable households in remote villages.
Beneficiary families have begun utilizing home gardening and small-scale farming support, showing early signs of improved food security.
Women who completed vocational training have started basic income-generating activities, particularly in tailoring and small home-based businesses.

Updated Impact

4000+ families supported with food assistance
30+ women trained in vocational skills
Multiple families engaged in home-based agriculture and poultry activities

These outcomes reflect growing community trust and the effectiveness of combining relief with long-term solutions.

Next Phase Plan

With additional support, the project aims to:

Expand food assistance to 1,000+ families in high-need districts
Scale up livelihood programs (home gardening, poultry, micro-business support)
Increase vocational training opportunities for women and youth
Provide small grants/tools to help trained beneficiaries start businesses

Key Challenges

Rising food prices and operational costs
Limited funding to meet increasing demand
Need for more training resources and follow-up support

Funding Need

To sustain and expand this impactful initiative, we are seeking additional funding to support the next phase of activities and reach more families in need.

Call for Continued Support

We humbly invite donors and partners to join us in scaling this life-changing program. Your support will not only feed families today but also help them build a stable and dignified future.

Looking Ahead

Insha’Allah, with continued support, we aim to:

Strengthen food security across targeted districts
Build sustainable livelihoods for vulnerable families
Empower women and youth to become economically independent

“Feed today, Grow tomorrow, Empower for life.”

May Allah reward you for your generosity and continued support.

Progress Report and Support Request

By Hammad Abdul Hafiz | CEO of Al Ehsan Charitable Foundation Nepal

Project Overview

Feed, Grow, Empower Nepal is a long-term humanitarian initiative by Al Ehsan Charitable Foundation Nepal, designed to address three interconnected challenges faced by vulnerable families in rural communities — hunger, unemployment, and lack of opportunity.
The program aims to provide immediate food support (Feed), promote sustainable livelihood development (Grow), and empower families, especially women and youth, through skill-building and income-generation opportunities (Empower).

1. Feed – Fighting Hunger

Thousands of families in remote areas of Nepal still struggle to meet basic food needs due to poverty and unstable income sources.
Through this program, Al Ehsan Charitable Foundation has distributed food parcels, rice, flour, and essential groceries to poor households across Sunsari, Morang, Saptari, and Udaypur districts.

Each food pack sustains a family for 2–3 weeks and helps reduce the burden on low-income households, especially during difficult seasons.

2. Grow – Promoting Livelihood and Self-Reliance

Beyond immediate aid, the project focuses on helping families grow their own food and earn a living.
We are supporting small-scale agricultural activities — such as home gardens, vegetable cultivation, and poultry farming — providing basic tools, seeds, and training to help families become self-reliant.

This approach strengthens food security and gives long-term dignity to recipients.

3. Empower – Building Skills and Independence

The empowerment component targets widows, single mothers, and youth through vocational training and business startup support.
Participants are trained in tailoring, handicrafts, and small enterprise management — helping them build steady income sources and improve household resilience.

Current Status

The project has achieved significant progress with limited resources.
So far, we have:

Provided food assistance to over 350 families.
Supported 25 women through vocational training.

However, due to increased needs and rising costs, additional funding is urgently required to continue and expand these efforts.

Acknowledgment and Appeal

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the kind donors and partners who have supported this project so far. Your contributions have already changed lives — but many more still await our help.

We sincerely invite our international partners, organizations, and well-wishers to support the next phase of Feed, Grow, Empower Nepal.
Together, we can fight hunger, build livelihoods, and empower communities — one family at a time.

“Feed today, Grow tomorrow, Empower for life.”
