Lack of access to food can lead many to insecurity, theft, looting, civil unrest and other unexpected consequences especially for the already difficult situations present in the world due to malnutrition and poverty. This is why Rosa Rossa Foundation sent food aid where these critical situations were at risk.

We donated food aid to a local NGO which houses orphaned and street children.
We also helped with food parcels distributed to other NGOs that is opening a second orphanage on the outskirts of Bakavu, (a town in Eastern Congo)
With the funds received, the raw materials necessary for the packaging of the masks were also purchased. The funds were also used to create new vegetable gardens for the sustenance of orphans and nuns.
Volunteers and farmers are in fact expanding the cultivation of the land, taking advantage of the dry season, as it is ideal for sowing corn and other vegetables.

Our contribution made it possible to set up a food bank in the city of Toliara.
The aid first reached people suffering from Covid-19, and then went through villages and houses where there were terrible situations and where we had received so many requests for help.
