A new charity, The Hunger Project, has opened in Chiswick.

The Hunger Project is a global, non-profit, strategic organisation committed to the sustainable end of world hunger.

The organisation works in 17,000 communities, reaching 19 million people in Africa, South Asia and Latin America, empowering women and men living in rural villages to become the agents of their own development, and making sustainable progress in overcoming hunger and poverty.

This is done through the focus of three critical elements:
•Mobilizing people at the grassroots level to build self-reliance
•Empowering women as key change agents
•Forging effective partnerships with local governments

The Hunger Project is one of the world’s foremost agencies in developing women’s leadership to end hunger and poverty, with strategies including empowering women in local democracy in India, building a movement of women leaders in Bangladesh, strengthening the capacity of indigenous leaders in Latin America, and creating and establishing women-owned and women-run rural banks in Africa. The empowerment of women and girls as agents of change is pivotal to the sustainable end of world hunger.

The Hunger Project’s vision is of a world where every woman, man and child leads a healthy, fulfilling life of self-reliance and dignity.

You can find out more about their work empowering communities at : www.thehungerproject.co.uk, or on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
