Ethics is defined by the moral principles that govern an individual and any organization. “Ethic defines the elements essential to human well-being and proposes principles to be used as guidelines for generating an ethical culture. Ethics also refers to the specific values, standards, rules, and agreements people adopt for conducting their lives” (Washington Ethical Society). Ethics is based on principles. “Ethical principles are basic and obvious moral truths that guide deliberations and action. Ethical principles include: Autonomy; Beneficence; Nonmaleficence; Veracity; Confidentiality; Justice; and Fidelity” (Margaret 2007).

“Malnutrition is one of the world’s most serious, but least-addressed development challenges. Its human and economic costs are enormous, falling hardest on the very poor, women and children. Malnutrition undermines progress towards achieving the World Bank Group twin goals of reducing poverty and promoting shared prosperity. The economic costs of undernutrition, in terms of lost national productivity and economic growth, are significant—ranging from 2 to 3% of GDP in some countries and up to 11% of GDP in Africa and Asia each year.” World Bank
In the world, there are innumerable food programs to fight hunger worldwide; but, the current health and nutritional situation leads many questions. Local Non-Profit Organizations need to be supported to make a significant improvement in the local level. Since the large investment at the central level prevents the real target “population in need” from getting what they deserve; therefore, the consequence is the increase of the poverty and the malnutrition.

The Millennium Development Eight Goals for 2015 are:
⦁ Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
⦁ Achieve universal primary education
⦁ Promote gender equality and empower women
⦁ Reduce child mortality
⦁ Improve maternal health
⦁ Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
⦁ Ensure environmental sustainability
⦁ Develop a global partnership for development (UNDP)
FOOD FOR ALL; here, will outline the differences between The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and The Healthy People 2020.
Developing countries should perform their own similar programs and they can efficiently implement than accepting programs imposed to them just to get the fund they can route toward another destination.
FOOD FOR ALL: Let’s FEED FOR HOPE.
