Samaritan's Purse Food Assistance to Build Resilience in Communities Q1 2013 Report
Launched in September 2012, FABRIC is a one-year Emergency Food Security Program (EFSP) under USAID's Food for Peace (FFP) initiative, implemented in partnership with Samaritan's Purse. This project is decreasing household vulnerability to food insecurity in four communes (Ayorou, Banibangou, Goroual, and Dingazi) in the northern Tillab'ry Region of Niger, targeting 40 communities and 8,100 direct beneficiaries. Through Food for Work (FFW) activities, off-season gardening, nutrition and environmental awareness education, and water point installation and rehabilitation, households will have increased year-round availability of food and improved dietary diversity while building communities' overall resilience.
