Rise Against Hunger is growing a global movement to end hunger by empowering communities, nourishing lives and responding to emergencies. Targeting remote, last-mile communities within hunger pockets designated serious or higher by the Global Hunger Index, they work with local leaders to harness the strengths of their communities and tackle their own food and nutrition security challenges with agency, dignity and resilience.

Rise Against Hunger promotes improvements in agricultural production and rural livelihoods to help individuals increase their incomes and access to food.

While long-term food security takes root, Rise Against Hunger provides nutrition and encourages education through school feeding, vocational training and health clinics.

From droughts to floods, in conflict zones and political crises, Rise Against Hunger deploys food and aid in communities when it is needed most.
Rise Against Hunger recognizes that hunger will not end without Growing the Movement, and engaging hundreds of thousands of volunteers and advocates each year to build awareness and activation.
