Join the World Hunger Day Movement

Our vision for a world without hunger is already taking shape.

Every day across Africa, South Asia, and Latin America, communities are creating a world without hunger.

Through community-led action facilitated by The Hunger Project, women, farmers and local leaders are increasing access to nutritious food, improving healthcare and education and building sustainable incomes for their families. This is not outside aid—it's people driving change in their own communities.

In 2011, The Hunger Project founded World Hunger Day to call attention to the global food crisis. Since then, May 28 has grown into a globally-recognized day of significance, with millions of individuals, organizations, corporations and governments coming together to highlight the importance of a world free from hunger.

"When it's one of us, we can't visualize our progress, but when it's several of us, we can make an echo, even in the furthest places." - Abigail Servero Vasquez, community partner in Oaxaca, Mexico.

The Hunger Project doesn't deliver solutions. Instead, we foster, catalyze and mobilize community members to become leaders who address the complex, interconnected causes of hunger themselves.

In 2025, our programs reached 12.7 million people worldwide. With the participation of 22 countries, we're continuing to work to transform the systems of inequity that create hunger and cause it to persist.

Sign up today to stand with communities creating a hunger-free future.

Together, we can create a world without hunger.
