Celebrate Food. Champion Change.
Communities celebrate, preserve traditions and nourish themselves through food. Preparing a home-cooked meal is a language of love, dignity and hope that allows us to connect to our history and to one another. This month, we invite you to connect with the communities we partner with through Our Shared Plate: a free digital recipe book filled with some of our favorite dishes from Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, India, Mexico and Peru.
In this global recipe book, you’ll read about tradition and leadership, while learning more about the progress communities are making toward a world without hunger.
Hunger is about more than food.
It’s about people.
Top-down, aid-driven charity models fail to create lasting change in the lives of those in need. To achieve a sustainable solution to world hunger, we need to support those living in hunger with access to education and tools that foster self-reliance.
645 million people are chronically undernourished
99% of people living in hunger are in low and middle income countries
Women and girls account for 60% of people living in hunger worldwide
An international 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.
