How can world hunger be solved?
It is proven that mobilizing communities and empowering people, through education and access to resources, creates the context needed for people to end their own hunger. We have 40+ years of experience working with and mobilizing communities.
We also have resilience, courage, ingenuity, creativity, our commitment to learning, and last but not least, people, just like you, who also believe in the power of people to make change.
Empower.
We ensure the empowerment of women. Given the opportunity to generate and control an income, women routinely invest significant portions of their income in food, healthcare and education for their families.
Mobilize.
We empower people with the skills, knowledge, and resources they need to break the cycle of poverty in order to mobilize communities.
Partner.
We work in partnership and local governments to end hunger. We have 2200 project sites, 14 600 partner communities, and reach approximately 15.4 million people.
