But we know the internet is a big place, so we’ve put together this list of some of the easiest and most creative ways for you to empower the development of communities around the world…from your computer!

Remember: every conversation you start brings all of us one step closer to a world of equal opportunity.

Are you investing creatively in a way not listed here? Let us know!

Facebook

You are already on Facebook. Why not Facebook with us? We regularly post photos, stories and questions to keep our investors up-to-date on the latest and greatest. Like our page, suggest us to friends — you can even donate your Facebook cover photo! And if you want to start your own fundraiser (in honor of a birthday, holiday or just because), start a Cause!

Flickr and YouTube

Want to see The Hunger Project in action? Don’t miss these amazing pictures and videos from our programs around the world! Great for sharing with friends and family (hint hint).

Twitter

Non-profits and news outlets love to chat – especially with our readers! So follow us at @HungerProject for breaking news, development factoids and to join the tweet-versation!

Pinterest

Pinterest is a virtual pinboard where people and organizations gather and share pictures, videos and articles from around the web. Our “pin boards” include inspiring stories of women’s empowerment, the latest development news and even a running list of what we’re reading! Check it out and share your pins with us!

Include some of these small actions in your day-to-day, ask others to do the same, and together we can empower millions of people around the world every day!
