The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) today has received 3.25 million Euro contribution from the German Federal Republic to support its refugee service and refugee service in Tanzania for 2018-2019.
"The WFP expresses its gratitude for this huge contribution from the Government and the German people," said Michael Dunford, a WFP Representative in the country. "Germany is an integral part of WFP programs that provide essential food support for living refugees in Tanzania."
WFP provides a monthly dietary supply of corn, pulp, vegetable oil and salts as well as supplementary supplements supplemented for pregnant mothers in pregnancy and breastfeeding mothers, children under the age of five, malnutrition living with HIV / AIDS and patients admitted to the hospital. In addition, high-quality carbohydrate biscuits are also distributed to refugees in temporary centers.
Tanzania preserves approximately 290,000 refugees, most of them women and children, especially in the refugee camps of Nduta, Nyarugusu and Mtendeli in Kigoma Region, North West of Tanzania. More than 70 percent of these refugees come from Burundi, and the rest are from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
"My country is proud to enable the WFP to serve those in need who have found refuge in Tanzania," said Dr. Detlef Waechter, the German Embassy in Tanzania. "It is very important to keep the political situation in their country before these refugees do not return to their home with generosity and security."
Financial shortages forced the reduction in food supply between February 2017 and October, this year, and therefore, this rise in aid from donors, including Germany, has enabled the allocation to be re-released in its fullness. WFP continues to collect funds so that food supply will not be reduced in the coming months.
The United Nations Food Program on the World is saving lives in emergency areas and bringing millions of changes to promoting sustainable development. WFP operates in over 80 countries around the world, providing food for people in chaos and disasters, and setting goals for future life.
