Fathers Building Resilient Futures
Creating a world without hunger takes entire communities. It takes men and women leading their own development, planting the seeds of change to help their families thrive for generations to come.
This month, we celebrate the dads who play an important role in this work. From Africa to South Asia and Latin America, fathers are improving household nutrition, championing education, and creating new economic opportunities. This Father’s Day, learn more about how dads are shaping lasting change on the path to 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.
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.
