Aly Khan believes in the mission of Feeding Villages: to improve the access to nutritious food and nutrition education for remote villages in Uganda. We wanted to ask him some questions in our first Donor Spotlight. The following provides a great example of why individuals, like Aly Khan, support our work!
1) Briefly tell me about yourself. Life, profession, and charitable interests.
I am Alykhan – I am a banker by profession and a husband to Salima and father of 2 kids Aakif and Sofiana. Charitably we like to get involved in initiatives that help improve global poverty and education in underprivileged areas of the world.
2) How did you become involved with Feeding Villages?
I became involved with Feeding Villages after seeing the excellent work they have been doing on Facebook – to see the positive impact they are having on the ground I feel privileged to have an opportunity to contribute in small way to such a great initiative. My 6 year old daughter also sees the posts and we regularly share with her the impact being made by our contributions.
3) What excites you the most about being a contributing member of this organization?
Seeing the innovative way Feeding villages is taking to make real impact and contribution on the ground. This makes us see our contribution go to good use without all the administrative costs normally associated with similar charities.
4) Why do you think it’s important for people to know about malnutrition and food insecurity in places outside of the US?
Global poverty is an issue that should be important to all of us regardless of where we are. We can all do our part to help improve the situations in countries where malnutrition is a way of life and food insecurity is normal. Thank you Feeding Village’s Team for all you are doing!
