NOW Foundation Launches in the UK Bringing Relief to Developing Countries

London, United Kingdom, August 14, 2015 (Newswire.com) - With currently more than 3 billion people living in poverty, and a further 1.3 billion living severely impoverished lifestyles, the need for intervention has never been greater. The NOW Foundation, founded in the UK in 2015, seeks to provide long-term sustainable relief to poverty stricken communities throughout central and western Africa and South East Asia. One of the main focuses of the NOW Foundation is the immediate implementation of sustainable water and food solutions, in order to provide relief to communities and help them to break out of the poverty cycle.

Generous donations ensure that the NOW Foundation is able to implement its far reaching strategy of; educating local communities, providing them with a voice, providing relief, and contributing to long-term prevention strategies. The foundation’s humanitarian aid workers supply safe water and relief supplies including medical provisions, shelter and nutritious food packages. Emergency assistance includes water solutions and agricultural education, which has proven to be an invaluable resource particularly during instances of drought and famine.

NOW Foundation Founder and Chief Executive, Hannah A. Chinedu, commented that:

“If you look to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the fundamental foundation on which individuals can build their sense of self-esteem and livelihood is being able to eat and drink. Whole communities have been stripped of this basic right – everyday people are struggling to find sanitary sources of water and sustainable sources of food. Families are being forced to drink unsafe water, becoming exposed to life-threatening viruses and diseases. Dehydration and hunger are real problems which need to be addressed today. We are called the NOW Foundation because people need us to act NOW, not later, and to support them to promote positive change. We’re thrilled to be able to start helping people in need around the world.”
