Objectives of the Millenium
At the Millennium Summit in September 2000 the largest gathering of world leaders in history adopted the UN Millennium Declaration, committing their nations to a new global partnership to reduce extreme poverty and setting out a series of time-bound targets, with a deadline of 2015. This is what has become known as the Millennium Development Goals.
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are the world's time-bound and quantified targets for addressing extreme poverty in its many dimensions-income poverty, hunger, disease, lack of adequate shelter, and exclusion-while promoting gender equality, education, and environmental sustainability. They are also basic human rights-the rights of each person on the planet to health, education, shelter, and security.
It understands the 8 objectives below and it sees what the BFA is doing to help:

TO END THE HUNGER AND THE MISERY
To reduce the number of people who gain almost nothing and that due to the unavailable jobs and their low sources of income they do not eat, but they starve.
BFA has on its mind that you cannot just provide to fullfill the needs of distressed comunities, you need to take care of the immediate problems and provide the commnities with the tools to become sustainable.
BFA organizes projects with it is ALLIANCE that will bring income to local communities in distress, using local materials and natural resources to create auto sustainability communities. This way all of the families involved in the project will be able to earn a decent living and over come poverty and hunger
