World Hunger Day
May 28 marks World Hunger Day, but this day is more than a moment in time. It’s an opportunity to transform concern into action. Whether you learn more about our programs, share stories from our partners or invest in community-led solutions, you’re helping build the momentum needed to sustain real change.
Creating a world without hunger doesn’t happen all at once, but every small action takes us one step closer. When you invest now, your contribution will be matched by a generous investor up to a total of $20k—so any amount you give will be doubled until the match is met. Invest today to join us in standing with the communities accelerating global progress and creating a hunger-free world.
Hunger is about more than food.
It’s about people.
Top-down, aid-driven charity models fail to create lasting change in the lives of those in need. To achieve a sustainable solution to world hunger, we need to support those living in hunger with access to education and tools that foster self-reliance.
673 million people are chronically undernourished
99% of people living in hunger are in low and middle income countries
Women and girls account for 60% of people living in hunger worldwide
An international nonprofit that works where it matters.
The Hunger Project is more than a hunger relief organization or global charity. We focus on building self-reliance at the grassroots level, working with women as key change agents and forming effective partnerships with local governments to create a lasting impact.

Together, we can end world hunger.
Whether you can invest time or money, everyone has a role to play in sustainably ending world hunger. When one person is trained, the ripple effect reaches children, spouses, neighbors and entire communities. Real progress is made when we all work together.
Make change happen. Invest in people.
