Today, 2.8 billion people lack adequate housing, and over 733 million suffer from hunger. Without food and shelter, it’s difficult to build a dignified life. We Effect supports cooperative organizations to ensure access to nutritious food and decent housing. By empowering communities to join forces, we create lasting solutions – building safe homes and providing food security for generations to come.
