Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The Hunger Project works to create a world without hunger. Its programs currently reach 12.3 million people with sustainable, gender-focused, holistic development strategies that address the root causes of hunger and poverty. In 2023, THP worked with over 9,540 communities throughout Africa, South Asia and Latin America. Its community-led approach recognizes the transformative power of community-owned vision and local leadership, which drives systemic change.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO create a world without hunger by facilitating individual and collective action to transform the systems of inequity that create hunger and cause it to persist.

  • AFRICA - In nine countries in Africa, THP's Epicenter Strategy mobilizes clusters of rural villages into "epicenters," which band together 5,000 to 15,000 people to carry out community-led, integrated strategies to meet basic needs. Community members at epicenters create and run their own development programs across sectors such as food security, nutrition, health, education, women's leadership, income-generation, and climate resilience. At the end of 2023, 78 epicenters had declared self-reliance after a multi-year partnership with The Hunger Project, meaning over 1.2 million community partners are now living in a self-reliant community where they have the confidence, capacity, and skills to act as agents of their own development and continue to make sustainable progress. In addition to epicenter sites, special project sites across Africa also utilize The Hunger Project's core mobilization methodologies in community mobilization and leadership development for sector-specific outcomes, such as community reforestation, nutrition, meaningful access to internet, inclusion of people with disabilities, water and sanitation, land conservation, and agricultural entrepreneurship.

    Expenses $8,097,313 · Revenue $3

  • SOUTH ASIA - In India, THP works with empowered women interested in being elected to local government positions to meet the development needs of their communities. Across six states, The Hunger Project supports the leadership development of women leaders in local village councils (panchayats), each of them champions for gender equality, social and economic development, and nutrition. THP's Adolescent Girls Program teaches girls life skills, their rights, and the importance of active citizenship. In Bangladesh, THP mobilizes local "animators" (trained volunteers), youth, women leaders, and local government representatives across 166 unions, encompassing nearly 2,850 communities, to support peaceful, effective local democracy and meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Community partners design and implement holistic, bottom-up strategies focused on nutrition, active citizenship, peace, income generation, climate resilience, girls' rights, and more in order to achieve the SDGs in their communities.

    Expenses $2,178,482 · Grants $5,564

  • EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY - THP's program activities prioritize educating and mobilizing individuals and organizations to create commitment among a critical mass to a world without hunger and to transform thinking in centers of power. This includes public awareness campaigns around international days of significance like World Food Day, International Women's Day, and a special day created by The Hunger Project, World Hunger Day. It also includes hosting events and workshops and participating in national and international forums to promote gender-focused, community-led approaches to development, as well as the importance of systems change efforts that are holistic and address the root causes of hunger.

    Expenses $953,335 · Grants $40,761

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
