Who are we?
45 years of action for a world without hunger
Action contre la Faim fights against the causes and consequences of hunger everywhere in the world. For over 45 years, our humanitarian organisation has been developing expertise in the spheres of health and nutrition and access to water and sanitation, as well as food security, mental health, advocacy, research and risk and disaster management.
Our goal is to eradicate world hunger. Our NGO deploys teams to implement all sorts of projects where vulnerable populations need them. We provide emergency responses to conflicts and natural catastrophes in order to guarantee access to basic necessities, water, food or health care. We also offer development assistance by supporting vulnerable populations as they develop their food resources and income-generating activities, so that they become more resilient and independent.
Together, we build sustainable solutions. Because every life counts.
