A New Initiative: Buddhist Action to Feed the Hungry
BGR began in 2008 when a small group of us—myself along with some friends and students—discussed the need for Buddhists to take on a more active role in tackling the momentous challenges facing humanity in a world that still sees glaring violations of the decrees of social and economic justice. As a result of our discussions, we decided to form an organization that could help people in need escape the scourge of devastating poverty and food insecurity.
Supporting the Education of Girls and Young Women in Nicaragua
Buddhist Global Relief's partnership with the U.S.-based North Country Mission of Hope lifts girls and young women in Nicaragua out of poverty. This year, a BGR grant sponsored the educations of 122 girls and young women.
