FEED

Food and nutritional support to respond to concrete needs and help people access appropriate support.

When food-related needs require a concrete response.

FEED is designed to intervene when a person or family faces a food or nutritional need that they are unable to address independently.

The programme responds by purchasing the food items needed to address an immediate need, or by accompanying the person towards an appropriate specialised service or facility.

The programme

How FEED works.

01

Identify the need

Every intervention begins with understanding the situation of the person or family and identifying the food or nutritional need.

02

Understand what is needed

La Levure assesses the concrete need, the family’s circumstances and the expenses required to address the situation.

03

Take concrete action

The intervention is carried out by purchasing the necessary food items or by accompanying the person towards an appropriate specialised service.

Emergency food assistance means taking concrete action.

When a family is facing an immediate need, FEED responds by purchasing the necessary food items.

The support is therefore transformed into concrete goods for the person or family, based on the needs identified.

The support

Two ways of intervening.

Emergency food assistance

FEED intervenes by purchasing the food items needed to respond to an immediate need of the person or family.

The intervention is defined based on the needs identified and the expenses required to cover the food needs.

Accompaniment towards a specialised service

When the need requires specific nutritional support, FEED accompanies the person towards an appropriate specialised service or facility.

The intervention is defined based on the need identified and the response required by the situation.

The process

From request to intervention.

01 — Request

The request for support is collected and information about the beneficiary and their family is recorded.

02 — Assessment

The food or nutritional need and the family’s concrete needs are identified.

03 — Decision

La Levure determines the most appropriate form of intervention for the situation identified.

04 — Intervention

Support is provided by purchasing the necessary goods or accompanying the person towards the appropriate service.

Programmes can come together.

A food-related need can be the starting point for understanding a broader situation.

When we intervene through FEED, getting to know the person and their family may also allow us to identify other needs that require support.

If there are children in the family who need educational support, we can consider an intervention through EDUKIT. If healthcare needs emerge, we can intervene through HOPE. When a child’s situation requires ongoing support, and the necessary resources are available, we can accompany the child through HELP.

In this way, an intervention that begins by responding to an immediate need can allow us to better understand the family’s situation and, when necessary, build broader support through La Levure’s programmes.

“The most useful help is the help that responds to what is truly needed.”
