EMPOWERING
PEOPLE TO END
HUNGER  

 

INVEST IN PEOPLE



(Bangladesh, 2022 @The Hunger Project) 

Hunger is about more than food. It's about people.

Chronic, persistent hunger is not due to lack of food. It occurs when people lack opportunity to earn enough income, to be educated, to gain skills or to powerfully affect their community. 

783

million

people are hungry.

60

percent

of those are women.

21

percent

of kids under 5 are stunted.

We believe
self-reliance
is the answer.

We don’t do handouts because we believe people are the solution - not the problem.

Instead, we partner with those living in hunger and poverty and empower them to transform their own lives. This is the only sustainable solution.

Empower. Mobilise. Partner.

All our programs work to strengthen women's position in society, enable communities to take charge of their own development and ensure governments are accountable to the communities they serve. We start by shifting mindsets, and then we empower people with the leadership, skills and knowledge they need to lift their communities above the poverty line for good. 

Who we are.

The Hunger Project is a global non-profit organisation committed to facilitating the individual and collective action to transform the inequities that create hunger and cause it to persist.

Our impact.

While we are proud of these results, we are even more proud of the individual people that make up these numbers, who overcome enormous challenges every day to transform their own lives.

Invest in people.

You can make a difference by giving financially, contributing your skills and time, or getting involved in one of our learning opportunities or fundraising events. 

Individuals living in hunger and poverty are not helpless. They are hard-working and creative human beings and are the world's most valuable resource.
