Algeria: food support for low-income households
In Algeria, fruit has become unaffordable for low- and middle-income households. These past two years, inflation has been hitting the poorest households hardest, says University Professor Abderrahmane Mebtoul (source). Electricity and gas bills have also more than tripled.
Low-income families and elderly people, orphans and disadvantaged students are those who suffer most. Thanks to its local partner charity, Seed has identified a list of beneficiaries in Wilayas located in the north-west of the country:
– Wilaya of Oran, including an orphanage
– Wilaya of Chlef
– Wilaya of Relizane, midway between Oran and Chlef, where some 50 single-parent families (mothers with their children) have already been identified.
Once the needs have been identified, purchases will be made locally to support the local economy:
– foodstuffs
– hygiene kits
– clothing
– school supplies
– toys for children
Total budget: €3,000
