The Hunger Project

The Hunger Project is a global NGO (non government organisation) that promotes social mobilisation and gender equality as part of a strategic plan to end world hunger.

The Hunger Project is an unconventional, strategic organization. The Hunger Project does not provide “relief.” Rather, The Hunger Projects works in authentic partnership with the people of developing countries to address the root causes of hunger and to ensure that all people have the chance to lead healthy and productive lives.

Today, The Hunger Project works in more than 10,000 villages across 13 developing countries in Africa, South Asia and Latin America. It carries out proven strategies that are empowering millions of people to achieve lasting progress in health, education, nutrition and family income.

In addition to directly empowering hungry people, The Hunger Project works strategically to change policies, catalyze society-wide transformation of the conditions holding hunger in place, and strengthen the local democratic structures through which people can meet their basic needs on a sustainable basis.
