The Hunger Project "is a global, strategic organization committed to the sustainable end of world hunger.

"In Africa, Asia and Latin America, The Hunger Project empowers millions of women and men to end their own hunger. The Hunger Project has pioneered low-cost, bottom-up, gender-focused strategies in each region where hunger persists. These strategies mobilize clusters of rural villages to create and run their own programs that achieve lasting progress in health, education, nutrition and family income." [1]

Werner Erhard, along with John Denver, Robert W. Fuller, and others, founded The Hunger Project in 1977.
