Proposal Form

The project consists of equipping a Food Transformation Center in Baja California, Mexico; to achieve the use generated in the community of the San Quintín Valley, where it will be transformed by extending the time of life, reducing waste, benefiting the population with little access to food.

It is planned to reach a maximum production capacity in the facilities of San Quintín in a period of 12 months from the purchase of the equipment. With this you will achieve:

- Avoid the waste of approximately 1,218 tons of food annually.

- Approximately 1 million processed and packaged products, ready for distribution to a register of beneficiaries with food needs.

- Increase the number of beneficiaries by 33.3%, reaching more than 40,000 people.

*** According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), 37% of perishable food is currently wasted in Mexico, equivalent to products that could reach 7 million people in food poverty. Which means hundreds of tons of food that can be transformed into preserves, purées, jellies, jams, among others.

*** In Baja California more than 16% of the population lacks access to food (above half a million people).

Coordinated center under the responsibility of BANATI, the Food Bank of Tijuana AC, a non-profit, self-sustainable institution dedicated to the collection, selection and distribution of food with experience to combat hunger, avoid waste, which has managed to reach institutions and communities most needed in Baja California.

Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
