Get to know Charity Right
About Us
Charity Right is an international food aid organisation that works in neglected communities around the world, feeding forgotten and underserved individuals.
Our meals support schoolchildren and adults in refugee camps, slums, jungles, and remote villages across Asia, Africa, and Europe.
Currently we are operating in Malaysia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sudan, and Turkey.
Children from these areas don’t often have the opportunity to escape poverty, but by providing regular meals at school, they are more likely to stay in education, which means they have a chance at a prosperous future.
Why do we focus on
providing food to children?
Charity Right provides continuous food aid to these children to get them in school and keep them learning.
WHY FOOD?
Hunger: The World’s Biggest Solvable Problem
As studied by the World Health Organization (WHO), chronic hunger shows greater increase by each passing time since 2014. Asia is leading the number of undernourished (381 million), followed by Africa (250 million), Latin America and the Caribbean (48 million).
The progress in fighting hunger is stalling, while the COVID-19 pandemic escalates the vulnerabilities and the shortage of global food system.
Our world’s population estimated to be just over 7 billion. And there is enough food in the world to feed 10 billion.
Hunger is one of the world’s biggest problems today. However, it’s solvable.
Schools
We provide meals to school going children.
Families
We deliver food packs to the same families every month.
Relief
We distribute food to communities affected by an emergency.
Breaking The Cycle With School Meals.
All our meals are carefully designed to provide maximum nutritional value. We’re fighting more than hunger; we’re fighting malnutrition too.
All our meals are carefully designed to provide maximum nutritional value. We’re fighting more than hunger; we’re fighting malnutrition too. We focus on providing food from three main food groups: carbohydrates, protein, and minerals – specifically calcium. Each meal we serve comes with one item from each group.
Menus are adapted to reflect different regions, food prices, and local traditions.
How we make decision for our projects
Our Approach
We go through a vital four step process when deciding where we will work. This helps us to identify the exact needs of those suffering from hunger.
Fighting Hunger
Feed to Educate aims to alleviate hunger from poverty-stricken households by providing monthly food aid to enable the beneficiaries and their families to sustain without relying on their children for supplemental income so they may continue to go to school and focus on their studies.
Nutritious Meal
Our Food Box is monitored and approved by our in-house nutritionist making sure that our beneficiaries are getting the nutrition they need.
Education
Through Feed to Educate, we make sure children don’t skip school as we believe that education is vital to the emancipation of poverty. To ensure that, a minimum of 80% school attendance is needed to qualify for the food aid.
Social Entrepreneurship
Together with its partners, Charity Right Malaysia conducts a one-year entrepreneurship program aimed at harnessing the skills and improving the financial strength and livelihood of these families by getting the parents or caregivers involved in these programs to qualify for the food aid. The program is designed to encourage the families to be able to create a sustainable income on their own eventually.
