We are celebrating 40 years of impact!

For the past 40 years, The Hunger Project New Zealand has been facilitating partnerships between investors and community partners across our programme countries. Genuine impact and freedom from severe hunger and poverty have been achieved.

In order to achieve a world without hunger we need you to join us in making sure that every woman, man and child has access to proper nutrition and opportunity to create a life of self-reliance.

Celebrating Our Collective Impact.

The Hunger Project has achieved incredible and measurable results in the work to create a world without hunger. Since 2008 when we began our Monitoring and Evaluation team and were able to capture and quanitfy the impact of our programmes and interventions we have been able to demonstrate the impact our programmes have on communities and people living in hunger - and our investors have played a significant role in this global success.

Our Global Impact

The Hunger Project New Zealand was founded by a small group of committed individuals who saw the need to act on a global stage to combat hunger and poverty. Their connection to the global movement that The Hunger Project began in 1977 was strong and has been the backbone of the organisation since. These individuals saw the power in the partnership created between people living in hunger and investors from around the globe and wanted to ensure that people living in New Zealand were able to experience the impact that investing in our human connection could bring.

The Hunger Project New Zealand has continued to grow offering people from New Zealand different opportunities to connect with the goals to end hunger and poverty from directly investing in partnerships with communities in Bangladesh, India, Ghana and Malawi to providing support to other communities through our general donation to the programme work of The Hunger Project across our programme countries. We have also provided New Zealanders an opportunity to challenge their thinking about their own potential through our leadership immersion experiences and our workshops held locally. What is true for our partners living in hunger is true for us here - the capability and power of the human spirit is a powerful force to be unleashed.

Having raised in excess of $2 million since our inception, THPNZ has partnered with thousands of people living in hunger to achieve their goal of self-reliance, health and dignity and have left an indelible mark on our mission to create a world without hunger.

"Never underestimate the power of a few committed people to change the world. In fact, it's the only thing that ever has. " Margaret Mead

Stories of Impact

Before The Hunger Project Ghana came to Adomfe, I had no skills and was unemployed. When the programs in the epicenter started I took the chance to be trained. I acquired vocational skills such a soap making, baking, batik tie dye and more. Now I train and mentor others as well. Now I'm fully employed. My husband and I use my income to take care of our children. Three of them have completed senior high school and are waiting to be admitted at the tertiary level.

Mewa Devi ensures all panchayat facilities are functional in her ward. Her demure personality tends not to reveal the full impact her leadership has had. From making sure pregnant women can access Take Home Rations, to regularising vaccinations and helping them complete their documents so they can take benefit of social security schemes, to raising awareness about mother's health and the impact of undernutrition, to monitoring school infrastructure, to installing hand pumps in her ward, she is a tireless worker for the benefit of her community.

Sabistone Mongloti struggled to provide even the basics for his family and get ahead with his small farm. He took part in the "Goat Pass-On" programme in his Epicenter. He was given two goats which he could breed with the promise that he gives two of his first goats to another member of the community. Sabistone now has a herd of 76 goats which gives him an income he uses to feed his family, educate his children and lean into a future full of possibility.
