To focus on chronic, persistent hunger as distinct from the acute famine emergencies that make the news.

The Hunger Project believes the human spirit is wonderfully creative, we believe people have the ability and the desire to be self-reliant. Our goal is to end world hunger. Our methods are different from most organisations in that first we address the attitudes and then, only after that mindset has changed, do we begin action through skill building and tangible projects. This model of empowerment allows us to be more efficient. We focus on women as change-agents. Women are disproportionately impoverished, yet they carry a large part of the burden of work and raising the children. Many studies verify that women do the most to improve health, nutrition and education when given the opportunity.
