All funds raised as part of the "Fight hunger. Eat out" campaign go directly towards Action Against Hunger’s programmes in over 40 countries worldwide. For nearly 30 years, Action Against Hunger has been at the forefront of the fight against hunger and malnutrition worldwide. In the most affected countries, our teams do their utmost day after day to ensure that people are given access to the most basic  of human rights - the right to food.

Action Against Hunger's life-saving programmes integrate activities in nutrition, water and sanitation, food security, health care and sanitation.

Nutrition:

Our nutritionists treat severely malnourished children through therapeutic feeding programmes and ensure that food reaches the most vulnerable families. Action Against Hunger also operates supplementary feeding centres, distributing nutritionally balanced food supplies to treat acute malnutrition before it becomes life threatening.

Access to food:

Fighting hunger is much more than just distributing food. Action Against Hunger combines emergency relief with programmes that help develop dependable sources of food and income, thus helping people to produce their own food. A few tools and seeds, fruit and vegetable gardens, cattle - all really simple, basic things, can make a huge difference, not just for a few days but for years to come.

Water and sanitation:

Nearly one sixth of the globe - 1.1 billion people- lack access to clean water. Every year, 2.2 million people, most of them children, die from diseases associated with unsafe drinking water, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene. Action Against Hunger provides access to safe drinking water by tapping springs, drilling wells and installing water systems. We also teach the importance of water and sanitation in preventing disease and train loca lteams to maintain water and sanitation equipment.

Health:

A vicious cycle exists between disease and malnutrition. Action Against Hunger's staff includes experts on the medical aspects of malnutrition, tailoring treatment to ensure that malnourished children and their families not only receive the food they need to regain their health but also medical treatment for malnutrition associated to disease.
