Partnering with communities to end hunger.
Resilience. Courage. Ingenuity. Creativity. Ending world hunger is possible because people are extraordinary. With your support, we partner with communities to achieve their own visions of a sustainable future, free from hunger and poverty.
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.
733 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.
