The Hunger Project

Follow women in Asia, Africa and Latin America as they make the journey from extreme poverty to dignity and self-reliance.


The Hunger Project is a global movement with a vision and commitment to end hunger by organising the necessary leadership, training, and education.


The organization focuses on chronic, persistent hunger as distinct from the acute famine emergencies that make the news. Less than 10 percent the world's undernourished people are hungry because of famine.


Chronic, persistent hunger is not due merely to lack of food. It occurs when people lack opportunity to earn enough income, to be educated and gain skills, to meet basic health needs and have a voice in the decisions that affect their community.
