The Hunger Project - New Zealand
Activism for Ending World Hunger

Thumbs up for The Hunger Project in Benin, Africa!  Hunger Project activist Shirley Hardwick, from Auckland, New Zealand, celebrates the opening of the Wawata Epicenter in Benin, West Africa, with jubilant local women.

In Africa, The Hunger Project's campaign for the end of hunger is mobilized from epicenters. An epicenter is a building, constructed and managed by the people of the surrounding rural villages. In order to serve the villages with the most severe hunger in the area, The Hunger Project in each country targets areas that are long distances from both towns and cities and from areas in which other nongovernmental organizations are already operating. These remote areas may be 15 miles or more from basic health services, schools and markets, making the populations highly vulnerable to hunger and endemic poverty.

The Hunger Project-NZ is part of a worldwide movement committed to the sustainable end of world hunger. In thousands of villages of Africa, Asia and Latin America, The Hunger Project empowers people at a grass-roots level to take charge of their own lives and successfully meet their basic needs.

The Hunger Project is a global, strategic organization committed to the end of world hunger. Throughout New Zealand, there are individual Hunger Project investors, many of whom are also committed volunteer activists, working to expand our movement of investors.

 
The Hunger Project activist team in Auckland, New Zealand, is happy to put time, energy and resources into the THP effort to end chronic, persistent hunger in the world.  New members welcome!
