About the IEF
The IEF was established in 2014 as an independent charitable organisation and is registered in both the UK and USA. Founded by the global egg community through the International Egg Commission (IEC) the IEF is a fully independent charitable foundation working to help ensure eggs are an accessible and affordable form of nutritious, high-quality protein in under-nourished communities, specifically in low and medium-income countries.
Working from the ground up, our vision is to create a sustainable food supply and self-sufficiency. To achieve this, we work alongside reputable organisations and foundations providing financial support, technical expertise and facilitating the sharing of knowledge to help ensure high-quality protein is accessible to everybody regardless of who they are or where they live.
IEF’s status as an independent charitable foundation allows us to interact with a wide range of collaborators to maximise the reach and impact of our programmes.
Our Objectives
Our Principles
- Providing technical expertise to assist in the development of egg production in regions where populations have no or insufficient access to high-quality protein
- Building egg farms to provide high-quality protein for vulnerable children, their carers and the local population.
- Offering training and educational opportunities to provide true sustainability in the long term.
- Working with international and local non-governmental organisations, agencies, and charities to develop tools and best practice guidelines to improve access to information and education.
"The IEF has a proven track record of bringing hope to those in need by making eggs available in some of the most nutritionally vulnerable communities around the world."
