Short version:
Since 1991, our Community Development Program FXBVillage brings the extreme poor to self-sufficiency within three years. The FXBVillage provides integrated support in nutrition, health, education, and housing to meet participants’ immediate needs while building their income capacity to become economically self-sufficient.
FXB breaks the vicious circle of poverty. Families are thus able to protect and raise their children, have a positive impact on their communities and lead a dignified life in their country.
Combating poverty also entails fighting against all kinds of gender-related discrimination. This ambition relies first and foremost on the promotion and strengthening of women’s economic empowerment.
