On December 12, 2010, FTN was able to fill one 40 ft container with 256,608 rice/vegetable meals and 6,400 bottles of vitamins. This container is now on the way to Partners in Harvest Iris Africa in Blantyre, Malawi. Total meals provided to the needy in Malawi for 2010 was 1,355,000.
It all started on Sunday, December 26, 2004, when an earthquake in the Indian Ocean sparked a deadly tsunami that became one of the worst natural disasters in recorded history. The tsunami killed over 230,000 people in 14 nations. Seeing the great need and the opportunity to help, FTN was born in February 2005. Its very first mission was to get vital food and nutrition to those who were affected by the tsunami.
A decade later, FTN is still committed to sharing the love of God, while bringing the abundance of the developed world to those in critical need in the third world. FTN has reached 75 nations with over $100 million in total goods and services worldwide, including 150 million meals. [Read more here]
