<div><strong>Three Core Elements:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Hunger Project has three key elements that they use to bring change to the communities they support. These are supporting women as key change agents, mobilizing people for self-reliant action, and forging effective partnerships with government. The Hunger Project focuses on these three pillars as they have proven over the nearly fifty years that they have been working to be effective in bringing the change that they seek in the world.

<div><strong>Supporting women as key change agents </strong>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Hunger Project puts an emphasis on making women the key agents of change, or “animators” as The Hunger Project likes to call them. Women are focused on as animators because in much of the world they are the primary providers of food and care while lacking access to education, resources, or real power. The Hunger Project has identified that creating gender equity can be key to bringing about the changes they seek. The Hunger Project currently has a focus on an epicenter approach to help unite surrounding villages to bring change. These epicenters are typically started with about 10 people and at least half of them, although typically more, have to be women. Creating this gender equity creates a better environment for everyone. It opens the doors for better education and stronger economies for self-reliant communities by empowering women.

<div><strong>Mobilizing people for self-reliant action </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/96647845_1763317672755507_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When The Hunger Project first started they had a charitable approach that fed communities and once the funding was gone the donations had to stop. This proved to be ineffective for feeding the communities in need and they shifted models. The proverb give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime is at the heart of The Hunger Projects philosophy. To achieve this, The Hunger Project must instead educate the communities they help. However, it isn’t enough to just teach agricultural practices to solve the problems plaguing the community. They must also teach communities how to get clean drinking water, how to properly sanitize things, how to start and run a business, and many more. They have had great success through the epicenter approach they have in villages across Africa. They find a cluster of villages together and put a building in a central location. The epicenters often include a bank, a nursery school, toilets, clean water, and a medical clinic. The Hunger Project also uses the epicenters as a central location to teach the surrounding villages sustainable agriculture practices and food preservation techniques so that they can grow, store, and have access to food year round. As of 2024, The Hunger Project has created over 120 epicenters, and of these, over 70 have declared self-reliance.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Hunger Projects last core goal is to build lasting, effective relationships with the governments of the countries they work in. This allows for added support into the communities they serve and helps create a faster approach to self-reliance. With the support of the governments there can be increased funding or assistance to the communities, which will then help to boost the economy, and overall self-reliance, of the countries that The Hunger Project serves. They also work to bring women into the governments of the countries that they serve as part of their goal for gender equity.
