A Brighter Future Starts with Girls
Hunger and poverty thrive where girls are denied education, voice and choice. We know that cycle can be broken when we invest in girls.
Through Girls Collectives, adolescent girls in India are finding something many have never had before: a safe place to speak, to dream and to belong. By engaging with their peers in these safe spaces, the girls develop the confidence to stay in school, delay marriage and lead change in their own communities. Invest today to join empowered girls everywhere creating a world without hunger.
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.
645 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.
