Hunger is inextricably linked to a nexus of issues including: economic equality, health, education, social justice, the rights of women and girls and climate change. As an organization committed to growth through learning, we pay close attention to these issues. To end hunger once and for all, it’s important for all of us to know our world.

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.
Start with women
When women and girls have the opportunity to be healthy and educated, society as a whole benefits. By empowering women, we can improve agricultural productivity, increase incomes, and address the hunger and poverty cycle with lasting impact.
Mobilize communities
We believe building resilient, self-reliant communities is key to addressing world hunger. We help communities forge effective partnerships with local authorities to drive a community-led approach that works, long-term.
Forge partnerships
A crucial part of our work is empowering people. Over 2 million people have attended our Vision Commitment and Action workshop, with 86% of people now convinced that they can design their own future.
