We recently sent 1,260 boxes of meals to Iraq that were distributed through outreaches by our partner Light a Candle Project. These outreaches gave hope to widows and food to starving families in refugee camps. It fed babies who entered the world due to rape by ISIS and are thus abandoned. These packages of food that we sent are changing lives, not just because of the nutrition they contain, but the hope of the Gospel that comes with them.
At one camp in Mosul, 6,750 people (of which, about 4,050 were children) received 18 packages of food each. These families lived under ISIS rule for two to four years. Almost all of them have suffered from the heartbreak of losing family members and having their homes destroyed. The refugees in the camp cannot leave and buy food, so what is provided for them is all they have. And it’s often lacking, which makes these packages of food essential.
An orphanage within Mosul also received 150 boxes of food. The orphans all came from different situations. Some had lost one or two parents before the conflict with ISIS, but many lost them due to the conflict. One room was filled with toddlers who were found and rescued from the rubble of homes destroyed by airstrikes and mortar fire. Another room was full of babies, many of whom were abandoned by their mothers because they were the product of being raped by ISIS members. These children with ISIS fathers are outcast and could face shame from their community their entire lives.
Over 350 boxes were distributed in Western Mosul, which was the hardest hit in the fighting and is almost completely destroyed. One of the widows who received the food is Hadia (pictured below). She lives in a home with 14 orphans and three other widows who lost their husbands to ISIS. These ladies must find ways to care for themselves and their children despite the danger of living within the Old City of West Mosul. The food provided much-needed nutrition for everyone living there.

Food and supplies were recently distributed to Iraqi refugees who fled ISIS. Thanks to our partnership with Light A Candle, we sent food to a camp outside Mosul where 1,350 families live. These families lived under ISIS rule for two to three years. Many of them lost family members to ISIS, militia groups or coalition air strikes. Their homes were destroyed, jobs lost, and their villages lack clean water and power.
The camps provide the basic needs of shelter, some power and some food, but even that is inconsistent and unpredictable.
Through this outreach, each family received food and supplies. Not only was it a time for nourishment and hope, it also helped build relationships with the camp manager and personnel, so programs like these can continue.

Since Feeding The Nations first began, we have been feeding children in Haiti on a regular basis. This is thanks to our long-standing relationship with our partners-on-the-ground, Fishers of Men Ministries International (FMM). Feeding the hungry is a group effort! It takes many hands to reach those in need. Partnerships such as this one have made it possible for us to impact the lives of thousands of children for eternity.
We recently received the following update and note of thanks from FMM’s mission director:
For more than a decade Fishers of Men Ministries has been distributing MannPack-Rice Soy Protein Packages throughout Haiti to 25 different schools with around 4,000 students. These schools are located in rural areas where living situations aren’t as fortunate. Thanks to the help of ReachNow International and Feeding the Nations, these meals have been an encouragement to the communities to help further the education of these students. Since the program began, we have followed up on their activities and have seen an improvement within the communities. Though we cannot solve every one of their problems, every contribution has helped! We are grateful for Feed My Staving Children and their partners for making this great nutritional package available to ministries like ours around the globe.
Thank you for your kind support in the lives of these children!
On behalf of the kids above and thousands like them, we say thanks with grateful hearts for our partners and people like you who make missions like these possible. Won’t you join with us to continue blessing the poor of this world? Simply click the button below.
