Do you want to make an impact at scale? We address hunger through the prism of equality, education and empowerment. We have ambitious goals and we want to partner with you to reach them.
There is an African proverb: “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” We know we’re stronger when we partner with corporates and businesses that want to grow and do good.
Imagine taking your team to listen, learn and thrive by seeing our work firsthand in one of our program countries. Seeing the world through a different lens has helped teams from Commonwealth Bank and Decjuba excel and perform better.
One of the most incredible gifts you can leave is a gift in your will. If your life has been shaped by the values of fairness and equity, this is one truly special way that your legacy, and your story, can live on.
We couldn’t do our vital work without the support of our amazing Investors and Partners. Working together, we are part of a global movement to create a world without hunger.

When you go to Yacouba’s home, you are captivated by the beauty of the landscape. Yacouba is first a farmer. During the rainy season, Yacouba and his family are all in the family field. “One of the things that has really benefited us is the rural fund. This fund allows us to have unconditional loans for our activities.” He is the president of the village committee that supports the dispensary in his village. “We often go to Ouagadougou, the capital, to defend our hospital. Yacouba explains that the village hospital is too often short of medicines. “It is essential that we get organized. Health is very important. When you have health, you can do anything.”
Ever wondered about the state of water across the globe? 🌍💧 Curious about how we can make sure everyone has access to this vital resource? Dive into the latest episode of Explained by Vox on Netflix or YouTube! Check out the link in our stories.
Water for Peace 💧💙 clean access to water is the first step in fostering peace, tackling hunger, and improving living conditions worldwide. Today, for World Water Day by @UnitedNations, we want to remind you that the need for clean water around the world is as urgent as ever. Sub-Saharan Africa is the only place in the world where people have less access to basic drinking water than they did in 2000*. Additionally, recent research has shown that an increase in water collection time in Africa directly correlates with an increase in domestic violence against women; with an extra 30 minutes of collection time correlating with increased severity of the assault*.
By working together to ensure access to clean water, we pave the way for a more peaceful and prosperous future.

“I live in the Khagdahar union of the district of Mymensingh. I want to share a difficult period in my life that I had to overcome. When I was in ninth grade, my parents had arranged for me to be married. I knew the consequences of child marriage from the training and video exhibitions organised by the Her Choice program (supported by The Hunger Project) at our school and, so, I was opposed to the marriage. I knew that if I got married at a young age, my education would have come to a halt. My life would have also been endangered because of the risks of reproduction at a young age and there was a possibility that I would give birth to malnourished children. Therefore I knew I had to stop my marriage at any cost. I went to my aunt Anwara, who helped me stop my marriage. I want to become a chartered accountant, be successful and contribute to society. And when I decide to get married, I want to pick a husband by myself.” - Kolpana, Bangladesh, 2020
Introducing our latest series, ‘In Her Words’, where we delve into the lives of our community. Today, we have the privilege of hearing from Comfort, a resilient mother of five residing in Ghana. Comfort Owusu (58 years) grinds her corn into flour at the processing machine at the Kwakyekrom epicentre. She is happy with this machine: “Before we had this machine, I had to travel much farther to process my corn into flour. Transportation costs were only increasing, so having the machine here now saves me a lot of time and money.” “It’s not a gold mine, but my situation has improved significantly since The Hunger Project arrived. I attended agricultural training, increasing the yield of my corn, cassava, and plantains. I learned the best way to store corn after harvest: in a crib, elevated above the ground to keep it dry. This way, I can preserve it for a longer period.” #THP #Ghana #InHerWords 📸Ghana, 2023 Photo by Johannes Odé
