UNCC300 - Food for the Hungry: Nursing Role in a Just Global Community

This project examines Food for the Hungry (FH), a non-profit organization, and its contributions to global community health, focusing on the application of Catholic Social Thought principles. The assignment outlines FH's establishment in 1971 as a Christian international relief, advocacy, and development organization, emphasizing its global operations and collaborative approach with local leaders. It highlights FH's focus on exit plans and collaboration with skilled professionals. The project then discusses the concept of a just global community based on Catholic Social Thought, including principles like common good and solidarity, and demonstrates how FH contributes to this through projects such as providing primary health to refugees, preventing family violence, and strengthening livelihoods for refugees. Finally, the project explores the professional contribution of nursing to FH's mission, including an empathic approach, promoting service offerings, and educating community members, with an emphasis on improving sanitary habits for overall well-being. References are provided to support the analysis.
