FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS, ACROSS NEARLY 50 COUNTRIES,
WE HAVE LED THE GLOBAL FIGHT AGAINST HUNGER.
We save the lives of children and work with their communities before and after disaster strikes. We enable people to provide for themselves, see their children grow up strong, and build prosperous communities.
We constantly search for more effective solutions, while sharing our knowledge and expertise with the world. We push for long-term change.
We will never give up. Until the world is free from hunger.

WHAT WE VALUE
ACTING COURAGEOUSLY
We will do whatever it takes to help the marginalized and most at risk, always acting with integrity and respect. No matter how hard, no matter how long it takes.
LEADING BY EXAMPLE
We are the nutrition experts, trusted and respected across the world. We analyze, we problem solve, we share knowledge — and we inspire others to get involved.
IMPACT THAT LASTS
Whether immediately in a crisis, or incrementally in the long term, our actions make a measurable impact. We provide evidence, take responsibility, and are always accountable.
WORKING BETTER TOGETHER
We cannot solve these problems on our own. So we work in partnerships to maximize the impact we make — and to create a worldwide movement for change.
