Global Action is a Boston-based nonprofit organization with the goal of
driving sustainable solutions to end chronic hunger. The organization's focus
seeks to improve the health and nutrition of vulnerable populations,
especially women and children, by reducing micronutrient malnutrition in
developing countries. Global Action currently has four programs: Micronutrient
Food Fortification Program, Orphan Feeding Program, Healthy Schools Program
and Community Mentor Program.
"Bobby is also extremely philanthropic and has committed a considerable
amount of money to help launch our malnutrition programs in Africa and Asia,"
added Lyden. "He has a generous spirit and truly wants to make the world a
better place to live."
Those initiatives began in April 2008 and introduced Global Action's
programs into 20 Tanzanian orphanages. Global Action's Tanzanian partner in
the initiative, Orphans Relief Services, received considerable funds and
endorsements from President Bush and is ranked high on the list to receive
funds from the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
