Program Overview

The Hunger Project works in partnership with grassroots people in Africa, Asia and Latin America to develop effective bottom-up strategies. Learn more about our methodology.

We have discovered three critical elements that, when combined, empower people to make rapid progress in overcoming hunger and poverty:

• Mobilizing people at the grassroots level to build self-reliance
• Empowering women as key change agents; and
• Forging partnerships with local government.

We have developed several key initiatives within our country programs that address our three pillars:

• Community Centers for Meeting Basic Needs
• Honoring Africa Leadership
• Microfinance for African Women Food Farmers
• HIV/AIDS and Gender
• Celebrating Girl Children in Bangladesh
• Fostering Government Accountability in Bangladesh
• Strengthening Elected Women Leaders in India
• Partnering with Media to Enhance Women's Leadership
