Descriptions: Founded in 1946, Freedom from Hunger develops innovative and sustainable solutions to help end chronic hunger in the developing world. Our self-help programs serve families on the margin of survival-providing them with the resources they need to break free from a legacy of grinding poverty and chronic hunger. In 1989, Freedom from Hunger created Credit with Education, a powerful combination of microcredit and educational services for women who live on $1/day or less. Women with no collateral, no credit history and limited entrepreneurial experience participate in Credit with Education in self-managed groups of 20 to 40. The groups bear joint responsibility for the loans they receive and provide moral support to their members. As women gather each week to repay their loans, they learn about practical and high-impact health and nutrition practice. Informal discussions on health and nutrition topics are facilitated in local languages by country nationals. Lessons include breastfeeding, immunization, hygiene and diarrhea management, HIV/AIDS prevention, child nutrition and pre-conception family planning. Women also learn how to improve their businesses to earn more money. Widely recognized for its success in cost-effectively integrating both credit and education, Freedom from Hunger has also demonstrated statistically significant impact on mothers' economic status and empowerment and on their children's health and nutrition.

Descriptions: Adopt-A-School Project: Created in 1989, the "Adopt-A-School" Project is an outgrowth of physicians' desire to find innovative ways to improve the health of Sacramento County youth by preventing long-term health problems. The program is designed to take a proactive role in response to life-threatening or limiting issues of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, AIDS, teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease. Believing that prevention is the best approach for addressing these community problems, the Medical Society Board chooses to focus on students in the school setting. The program's emphasis is on providing students with the information necessary to make responsible decisions that promote their health now and in the future. This program utilizes physicians, medical school students, and undergraduates to give health-oriented presentations in K-12 schools through-out Yolo, Sacramento, and nearby counties. The level of participation and frequency of visits to the school vary widely and are based on the school's needs and the volunteer's area of expertise. The volunteer may select a grade level and spend several periods with each classroom of students in that grade over the period of the program. There may also be a need for a guest speaker on a specific topic on a one-time basis. Last Update: 17 March 1999 Keywords: health, substance abuse, youth, women
