Women often eat last and least in countries facing conflict, famine and hunger, according to the World Food Programme. Women are also more likely to live in extreme poverty. More than half of the 821 million people in the world facing food insecurity are women and girls.

This story is part of a series highlighting the incredible women that bring Feed My Starving Children’s mission to life.

Noella is a courageous and hardworking woman living in Rwanda. As a widow suffering from health issues, Noella struggles providing for her three biological and three adopted children.

A strong Christian woman, Noella attends New Life Bible Church where Feed My Starving Children’s Distribution Partner Children’s Hunger Fund distributes MannaPack™ meals.

Thanks to Children’s Hunger Fund and their meal distribution program, Noella and her children have been able to receive nutritious meals.

“MannaPack Rice is very helpful to me. It keeps me strong and my children are performing well because of the food support,” Noella said.
