Our basic principle

 

The people whose lives are directly affected by hunger and poverty are not seen as a problem – rather, they play the key role in identifying, planning and implementing sustainable solutions. With their creativity, skills, resources and decision-making power, they themselves develop and redesign their lives.

 

The Hunger Project:

 

  • strengthens women in their key role in change
    Women traditionally bear the main responsibility for the health of the family, for schooling and food security for the children, and often also provide part of the household income. However, they themselves do not have access to the household income earned, have no land rights and no decision-making powers in the family, nor in political and economic bodies. The Hunger Project has made it its top priority to empower women politically, socially and economically.

 

  • mobilizes people at the grassroots level for personal responsibility The basic attitude of people, which is characterized by resignation and dependence, must be confronted and changed. In many countries this is achieved through the “Vision, Commitment and Action Workshop” and the training of local development trainers, who in turn motivate and organize the other villagers to become active themselves.

 

  • works in partnership with local authorities
    An effective forum must be created that allows villagers to meet their basic needs and gain access to government resources to which they are legally entitled.
Start with women
Mobilizing communities
Involve local authorities

With their creativity, their potential and their own resources, local people play a key role in overcoming chronic hunger. For this reason, the work in developing countries is led and carried out only by compatriots.
