Building Self-Sustaining Initiatives to

Help Children and Families go

from Poverty to Prosperity

Nehemiah Fund

Our Vision: Building self sustaining initiatives to help children and teach families how to transition from poverty to prosperity.

Our Values: Integrity, Excellence, Love, Faith and Unity.

Our Mission: We are a 501(c)(3) committed to eradicating food insecurity & malnutrition for those living in extreme poverty while inspiring hope in Jesus. Our goal is to eliminate unnecessary duplication of efforts, utilize economies of scale to reduce costs and build upon the demonstrated strengths of our partner organizations.

Our Team: Our team collectively has over 20 years of experience working in the non-profit sector. We have worked with families and feeding programs around the world and have seen increases of over 850% in the housing and feeding programs we oversee.

Our Focus Countries: Our initial focus is in Nicaragua, India, Mexico and Uganda but we are always looking for additional underserved areas.

You may be asking, “why does the world need another charitable organization doing seemingly the same thing?”

That is a great question and one that needs to be addressed on a global scale. There are many good-hearted people making small impacts in the lives of those they serve. But, what if?

What if your giving could have a larger impact? What if your donation could help entire villages become self-sufficient, thereby changing the lives of the families and children who call them home?

Our approach is to empower individuals, families and communities to become self-sustainable through improved methods of farming, animal husbandry and learning marketable trades resulting in consistent income and dramatically improved economic outlooks for their community.

805 million people do not have enough to eat

One in every nine people on our planet go to bed hungry each night

Every 5.6 seconds someone dies from hunger

Poor nutrition causes nearly half (45%) of deaths in children under five -3.1 million children each year

Potential Programs

Food insecurity is harmful to all people, but it is particularly devastating to children. Proper nutrition is critical to a child’s development. Not having enough of the right kinds of food can have serious implications for a child’s physical and mental health, academic achievement and future economic prosperity.

Approximately one in eight people in developing nations, or 13.5 percent of the overall world population, remain chronically underfed.

Considerable efforts are therefore still needed to reach the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) hunger target by 2015, especially in countries that have registered inadequate progress.

Poor nutrition in the first 1,000 days of children’s lives can have irreversible consequences. For millions of children, it means they are, forever, stunted.

Stunting is defined as a below average height-for-age and is a indicator of chronic malnutrition.

This is a tragedy for the 165 million children under the age of 5 afflicted by stunting in the world today.

Additional anthropometric indicators such as wasting (low weight-for-height) capture acute malnutrition exposure and underweight (inadequate weight for age) serves as a composite indicator.

Globally in 2011, 52 million children under 5 years of age were moderately or severely wasted.
