To create partnerships between vulnerable households and caring people to combat malnutrition which, when suffered by children, undermines the Nation’s health, education and economic potential. As such, Operation Hunger concentrates its efforts in marginalized communities serving "the poorest of the poor".

Operation Hunger came into existence in 1980, as a registered fund-raising organisation, and has a history of concern for the nutritional condition of people in South Africa. Operation Hunger works with local communities to initiate locally specific development programmes designed to create an environment conducive to optimum child growth. The organisation has strengthened its capacity in the areas of water supply, environmental sanitation, health/hygiene education, income generation, small-scale agricultural projects and goal oriented food support to provide much needed assistance to vulnerable communities throughout the country. Operation Hunger has also extended its work to include HIV/AIDS prevention and AIDS home-based care projects as well as TB projects. This is because both diseases have devastating consequences with regard to poverty and malnutrition.
