About Us
World Hunger Day was founded by The Hunger Project in 2011 to call attention to the global food crisis.
Since then World Hunger Day has grown into a globally-recognized day of significance and millions of individuals, organizations, corporations and governments have come together to highlight the importance of creating a world without hunger.
About The Hunger Project
Founded in 1977, The Hunger Project is a global movement dedicated to creating a world without hunger. We believe people living in hunger are not the problem. They are at the heart of a sustainable solution that lasts.
All our data, gathered over four decades, points to the same thing: supporting people faced with hunger to build their own solutions is critical. By empowering communities facing hunger, we can transform the systems of inequity that keep hunger in place. Once and for all.
We don’t see a billion mouths to feed, we see a billion human beings who are aspiring change makers, entrepreneurs and innovators.
