Through Rich Oats Action Labs (RCAL), this fundraiser supports the YAMNA women's cooperative in rural Morocco to address food insecurity and hidden hunger. Providing nutrient-rich oats with 2x the protein and 3x the vitamins of common oats, YAMNA can produce 60k meals, improve local diets, and boost food security. Empowering women leaders ensures sustainable income, promotes economic growth, and builds resilient communities. Join us to advance women's empowerment and sustainable agriculture.
Food insecurity and hidden hunger persist in rural Morocco, where diets lack essential nutrients. This impacts health and wellbeing, especially among vulnerable populations. Local communities face limited access to nutrient-dense foods, leading to a cycle of malnutrition and economic challenges. Supporting local cooperatives like YAMNA can help address these issues by promoting nutritious, affordable food options such as cous cous through sustainable agricultural practices.
This project will provide YAMNA Cooperative with pre-milled, nutrient-rich oats, which have 2x the protein and up to 3x the vitamins and minerals of common oats, totalling approximately 60k meals. These oats can be processed have a higher yield, are more sustainable and more accessible to more vulnerable populations. By incorporating these improved oats into local dishes, YAMNA can boost food security, enhance local diets, and provide women entrepreneurs with a sustainable income.
Empowering the YAMNA Cooperative in Morocco has a long-term impact on food security in the region, contributing to healthier, more resilient communities. By supporting sustainable agriculture and women-led initiatives, this project will help create ongoing access to nutritious, affordable food. This model of community-driven development promotes economic growth, empowers women, and strengthens local food systems for future generations.
