“Food-For-All” Food Assistance Service Centre

History

The economic tsunami struck in 2008, food assistance was provided by 5 NGOs with the subvention of the government to serve 18 districts so as to help the needy. Food-for-all food assistance service was thus established since 27 February 2009.

Nowadays, our service demand has risen in parallel with the inflation rate. Food assistance is one of supportive services to ease the financial stress of the needy.
