How we help
The International Egg Foundation projects aim to improve nutrition through providing access to enhanced technology, supported by training and education programmes with a view to encouraging entrepreneurship.
Its main goals are to:
- To fight against hunger and malnutrition amongst children, young people and families
- To improve human nutrition and health by developing programmes that promote the correct use of high-quality protein in the diet
- To support the healthy development of infants and children by providing high-quality protein to enhance brain development, to support concentration levels at school and boost natural immunity levels
- To encourage the consumption of eggs in populations which have little or no access to high-quality protein
- To make eggs more accessible to children, families and communities that are undernourished and underfed, increasing the number of eggs consumed in developing countries
- To encourage and facilitate an increase in the number of eggs being produced locally in developing countries
- To promote the normal function of the natural human immunity system, through improved access to high-quality protein, supported by education about health, the natural immune system and nutrition
- To improve education, explaining the benefits of high-quality protein in the diet and encouraging knowledge sharing with others
