In Africa, Asia and Latin America, The Hunger Project seeks to end hunger and poverty by empowering people to lead lives of self-reliance, meet their own basic needs and build better futures for their children.
The Hunger Project carries out its mission through three essential activities: mobilising village clusters at the grassroots level to build self-reliance, empowering women as key change agents, and forging effective partnerships with local government.
In Africa, The Hunger Project’s methodology is implemented through epicentres: clusters of rural villages where women and men are mobilised to create and run their own programs to meet basic needs. After several phases over a five-year period, an epicentre becomes self-reliant, meaning it is able to fund its own activities and no longer requires further investment from The Hunger Project.
Hard at work building an epicentre
The Epicentre Strategy is integrated and holistic. It achieves synergy among programmes in health (including HIV/AIDS prevention), education, adult literacy, nutrition, improved farming and food security, microfinance, water and sanitation, and building community spirit with a momentum of accomplishment involving the entire population.
The Hunger Project has mobilised more than 100 epicentre communities in eight countries in Africa. Twenty of those epicentres are self-reliant.
