According to the International Development Research Center (IDRC), “poor nutrition in sub-Saharan Africa is often linked to a lack of fat in people's diets.  Fat is required to help absorb vitamins, proteins, and other nutrients.”  The objective of the Food and Clothing Program is to provide food and clothing to the elderly, orphans, widows, HIV patients and poor families.
