Businesswoman puts up organization to address hunger, poverty
A Manila-based philanthropist is poised to create an organization that will really focus and help children and poor families stay out of hunger and poverty.
With an aim to “leave nobody hungry,” Virginia Rodriguez noted that hunger typically impacts a significant number of Filipinos living below the poverty line.
She said that Act Agri Kaagapay organization is not only a mere agricultural organization, but an organization with a heart driven by a sincere goal to achieve real success in farming through different best practices and modern technology around the world.
“Soon, our country will no longer be affected by food crisis once we unite to fight “poverty and hunger” by combining our experiences, knowledge, best practices, technology and development in agricultural area,” she said.
She added, “Let’s join together to achieve this humble goal for serving humanity and Filipinos for a better world. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.”
Rodriguez recalled that in 2023, the country still has the same issues in life, particularly on how poor Filipino families struggle to have food on their table and the government doing everything to establish food security and keep prices of basic commodities affordable especially in agricultural sector.
These, she said, are also some of the reasons they wanted to create an organization that will really focus and help this troubled sector that affects most of the Filipinos.
“We want nobody to go hungry, we want to give that hope to these vulnerable sector,” she said.
