The Hunger Project |
The Hunger Project is an international grassroots organization formed in 1977 to generate global awareness and build a consensus to bring about the end of chronic persistent hunger. Today, ending hunger is no longer an obscure issue championed only by a compassionate few. It is now squarely on the global agenda, receiving the attention of leaders and citizens the world over. Praised for its effectiveness by world leaders and authorities on dealing with the persistence of hunger, the United Nations Economic and Social Council roster recognizes the continuing work of the Hunger Project to create the sustainable end of world hunger.
