Why Join ‘Team Hunger’

The Hunger Project is committed to the sustainable end of world hunger and poverty. In Africa, South Asia and Latin America, we seek to end hunger and poverty by empowering people to lead lives of self-reliance, meet their own basic needs and build better futures for their children.

With 375,000 locally trained volunteers across the developing world training millions of others to take the steps to end their own hunger and poverty your support is giving the one in seven of us (living on less than 80 pence a day), a hand-up!

Achieving the sustainable end of hunger means creating a new future for all humanity, a future where:

• every day, every person has enough of the right food to be healthy and productive;
• babies are born healthy and strong, and girl babies are prized as much as boy babies;
• children stay alive, so parents can have smaller families;
• women and girls are full partners in society;
• people have control over their own lives and destinies, and all individuals have a chance to contribute; and
• values of respect for humanity and nature flourish.

What do we do? We mobilise women, men and whole communities at a grassroots level to provide -

• infrastructure – buildings, schools, health clinics, toilets, food storage facilities;
• education – nursery school and literacy programmes;
• health – antenatal, family planning and HIV Aids programmes;
• agriculture – training, tools, land and access to pesticides and seeds;
• water – safe water supplies and sanitation training in all our villages;
• microfinance – the majority goes to rural women farmers who start businesses.
