What We Do
At Chefs for Humanity, we are taking on hunger, obesity and providing help to those in emergency conditions by generating awareness, raising funds and rallying volunteers. Hunger is a constant threat, both overseas and here at home and all too frequent disasters remind us how easily our neighbors and friends can fall into desperate, life-threatening circumstances. Obesity too, in our country, has risen to epidemic proportions and must be addressed.
CFH Program Areas
There are nearly one billion hungry people in the world --more than the combined populations of USA, Canada and the European Union. 98% of the world’s hungry live in developing countries with the least resources to tackle this challenging problem.

Helping children make healthy food choices is an essential ingredient for instilling good habits to last a lifetime. Parents and caregivers can teach good nutrition by involving kids in making healthy, nutritious snacks and meals.
|
Floods, famine, hurricanes and war affect all of us. Events like Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and the earthquakes in Haiti brought devastation to many. Helping to ensure immediate access to water, food and nutrition is one way Chefs for Humanity provides help to others in time of great need.

Making A Difference
 |
Chefs
for Humanity responded to the Haiti earthquakes by raising awareness
and support for the World Food Programme (WFP). CFH funding was used to
purchase clean cookstoves for WFP’s school meals programs in Haiti,
which benefits thousands of children with nutritious meals, as well as
the women cooking in the schools who now breathe cleaner air and cook on
safer fuel efficient stoves--without the risk and time associated with
searching for firewood and fuel. CFH is also funding the establishment
of micro-enterprises to train Haitians to produce the briquettes used to
fuel the stoves, which are made from recycled paper and cardboard,
thereby reducing the reliance on charcoal. These micro-enterprises have
the dual benefit of creating jobs and sustainable businesses while
addressing environmental and safety concerns for the country.
