Mission, Vision and Values

 

The mission of Nutrition without Borders is to contribute to reduce nutrition inequalities throughout the world from the perspective of cooperation, training, empowerment, and promotion of the balanced use of the world’s food resources and solidarity amongst peoples of all nations.   

  • Working for a model of cooperation where those affected themselves participate in the development of the projects aimed at their own communities of origin, and therefore based on co-development.  
  • Empowering health and education professionals in nutrition and food related matters in impoverished areas that may also entail social exclusion, or be produced within contexts of humanitarian crisis.
  • Informing nationally and in the field civil society and health or educational professionals about key nutritional aspects, as well as providing advice on potential relationships with cultural diversity, which are interpreted through mutual understanding and by facilitating communication. 
  • Cooperating with other NGOs, institutions, national organs, and international organizations, in nutritional and food related matters, which are critical to assure access to human rights, and for the development of every human life in any place in need throughout the world. 
  • Promoting the balanced use of food resources and the solidarity between populations through rising awareness on food security and basic human rights through informational campaigns.
 Nutrition Without Borders bases its action on the standards set by human rights, and specifically on the Right to Food recognized in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. 

 

The aim of Nutrition Without Borders is to become a reference in the promotion and protection of the right to food and nutrition. 

The conviction of Nutrition without Borders that food is a crucial to the enjoyment of human rights has determined us to become a reference in the introduction of new technologies and applications adapted to the needs of those who are most deprived. As such, our aim is to improve efforts for achieving a satisfactory nutritional status in these populations, and through adequate food choices that are adapted to every culture.  

 

The team and network of Nutrition Without Borders share the same values

The team and network of Nutrition Without Borders share the passion of nutritionists committed to social development, and to the values set out by universal human rights. Sharing these convictions has had a crucial role in the success of our work, both in the field and at home and thus it has enhanced the fulfilment of our mission

We believe in the Independent work and we declare ourselves without political agenda, as we strive to fulfill our mission without discrimination on the basis of  sex, ethnicity, or beliefs.

We promote Solidarity as the primary motivation for people to undertake action in order to stop nutritional inequalities that form the basis of hunger, poverty, and the lack of opportunities for human development.

We work towards 'Excellence' by rigorously and efficiently using the resources that the society has entrusted us with to fulfill our mission. The projects and actions must yield concrete results and be genuinely useful.

We promote Global Participation as a fundamental element in the responses addressing social necessities.

We manage the funds received in a Transparent way. We inform and provide accountability to our members, the beneficiaries of our actions and the society at large.
