After more than 20 years of consecutive decline, hunger has been rising for the past three years, due mainly to a severe famine in Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen. "Climate change is already affecting agriculture and food security," but "the most acute food crisis right now is in Yemen, a country at war," where 35% of the population is undernourished. This is why we cannot give up!

Good to know: we work directly with the United Nations World Food Programme, and indirectly with governments. We are helping to make their school feeding programs more reliable in 60 countries, by empowering women, who make up the majority of those involved in family farming and who prepare school meals. |

"Empowering women empowers humanity": economic equality for women means progress for all. By empowering them, women can free the world from hunger.
