Campaigns & Initiatives:
In addition to carrying out programs in some 40 countries around the world, Action Against Hunger undertakes special initiatives on critical humanitarian issues, often in collaboration with colleague organizations, academic institutions, government ministries, and the U.N.
The Campaign to End Malnutrition
Every year, some 20 million children across the world suffer from severe acute malnutrition. More than five million of them will die. Countless others will suffer permanent physical damage, including stunted growth and developmental delays. In response to this growing crisis, Action Against Hunger has launched the Campaign to End Malnutrition.
Global Water Initiative in Partnership with Buffet Foundation
Action Against Hunger joined forces with the Howard G. Buffet Foundation and a select number of nonprofits to launch an ambitious new undertaking called the “Global Water Initiative” (GWI). The GWI aims to provide comprehensive solutions to communities lacking drinking water and proper sanitation around the world, but also serves as an exciting new model for nonprofits and major private foundations—one designed to enhance nonprofit capacities while scaling-up the reach and impact of their programs.
The ONE Campaign
Action Against Hunger believes 2008 is a crucial year in the fight against hunger and absolute poverty. As a partner of the ONE Campaign, Action Against Hunger intend on taking a leading role in the fight to make poverty history. As a major international humanitarian organization Action Against Hunger will use its resources to wholly support the ONE Campaign in its endeavors to alleviate absolute poverty and put an end to the travesty of millions suffering and dying needlessly around the world from a lack of access to food, adequate healthcare, education, sanitation and water.
