THE HUNGER PROJECT

Take on 2013’s London 2 Brighton Challenge in support of The Hunger Project and ‘Do Something Great’ to end hunger and poverty around the world.


The Hunger Project is dedicated to the permanent eradication of hunger within some of the world’s poorest communities where women, men and children are living on less than 80 pence a day.

Handing out food or money is not sustainable so The Hunger Project supports and mobilises millions of women, men and children in 8,700 villages to end their own hunger themselves.

We partner with millions of people to provide training, skills, know how, equipment and most importantly a new motivation to take control of their own lives.  Watch this great video about our work
