<div><strong>The Hunger Project</strong> views starvation and food insecurity as the solve-able problem of the world. In fact, they are on a goal to eliminate starvation by 2030. Instead of handing out food, they are empowering those who are often marginalized in many areas of the world: women and teens. Through education and guidance, they create ways to produce income and lead their communities to engage more. It’s more than the “teach them how to fish” mindset, it’s teaching them how to manage their lives and create a true economic culture.

<div>Years ago, there was a young woman near Bangladesh named Rejeya Khatun. Her family couldn’t afford an education and her parents arranged a marriage instead. Her husband struggled to find work, so they were struggling. A neighbor knew a local ambassador to The Hunger Project and got Rejeya involved. After a few months of training, she began to do sewing and tailoring. Her quality got her work, but her work also brought other struggling women to her who wanted to learn. She trained them for free. She expanded her skills and added some farming and more to her abilities. She and her husband both bring in money and are not worried about their food sources any more.

<div><strong>Facts and Statistics</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With 8 billion people in the world, the numbers of how many face hunger are staggering.  The United Nations stated in 2023 that between 713 and 757 million, or 1 in 11, people worldwide face hunger. In Africa, the numbers become 1 in 5. Over 3.1 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet, and it is expected that 274 million people could need humanitarian assistance within the next year. 
</div>
<div>According to The Hunger Project website, 60% of the people living in hunger worldwide are women and girls and 673 million people are chronically undernourished. They also share that nearly half of all deaths in children under 5 are attributable to under-nutrition.

<div><strong>Why The Hunger Project Needs More Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As of December 2024, the Net assets for the expenses of the Global Hunger Projects are $19,273,894. However, their overall total revenue at the end of the year is $18,307,408, with the net loss of $1,423,693. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We need to help in any way we can. We all know the cost of doing anything has gone up in the last 12 months, so it's more important than ever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who We Are </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Taste Buds is a passionate, close-knit team of University of North Texas BAAS majors united by the goal of making a real, tangible difference in the world. Through our Pathways to Civic Engagement course, we’ve spent many hours diving deep into the needs of our local communities, cities, and beyond. Many of our team members have volunteered at shelters and at food pantries, some team members grew up in households where food insecurity was not far off, and others still have seen it ripple through friends and neighbors in Denton and the broader North Texas area. To us, it’s personal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Food insecurity is a crisis that’s only grown more urgent. Every day, around the world, families skip meals, water down baby formula, or turn to food pantries. This problem leads to health issues, hindering child development, and perpetuating cycles of poverty. We believe no one should have to face the reality of food insecurity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s why we couldn’t imagine a more perfect partner than The Hunger Project. This women-led international nonprofit empowers communities in Africa, South Asia, and Latin America to achieve self-reliance and end hunger at the source by implementing innovative programs that build local leadership, improve health and nutrition, and eliminate the causes of food insecurity. Through our GoFundMe campaign, we’re not just raising money; we are furthering a proven approach empowering one community at a time. Won’t you join us?
