Food for the Poor

Food for the Poor

The preservation of human dignity and the care of those in need

Ferdinand Mahfood founded Food For The Poor in 1982. FFTP launched its first Micro-enterprise program in 1984, but it's not until 1988 that its hunger and poverty relief operations really reached a more mature stage. While FFTP was founded on the religious principle that it is our moral duty to clothe and feed the poor (Mathew:25), Food For The Poor is neutral, impartial, apolitical, and encompassing of all religions and beliefs. FFTP holds the preservation of human dignity and the care of those in need as a core principle. Our assistance programs are based on a sustainable and holistic approach to poverty alleviation. It is our goal to demonstrate that poverty is not inevitable.
