HOW WE WORK

At the heart of our mission is a simple yet powerful idea: provide for today, prepare for tomorrow. Our work is rooted in compassion, driven by data, and shaped by the communities we serve. Here’s how we turn our vision into action.

We target remote, last-mile communities within hunger pockets designated “serious” or higher on the Hunger Index, which are the hardest places to reach and are often difficult to access, lack communication and have poor infrastructure. We practice locally-led development by supporting local communities with capacity, resources, facilities and linkages to achieve sustainable food security and grow resilience against external threats including climate change issues. Our work starts with a meal. Packaged nutritious meals help students and youth complete their education and acquire necessary skills to become productive adults. Meals also work as a safety net for those who find it hard to meet their daily food needs.

While providing meals to meet the immediate needs, we organize community members and build their capabilities with resources and opportunities for livelihood and income generation. Through education, counseling and field level coordination with the local service providers, we enable the community’s access to healthcare facilities and other government support. Wherever feasible, we step in to bridge the gap for the communities to have access to water, sanitation, roads etc.

PROGRAM PATHWAYS & PILLARS

Nourishing lives

Our organization’s approach to ending hunger centers on mobilizing a global network of hunger champions. Rise Against Hunger India meal packaging volunteers produce millions of nutritious meals annually that help feed vulnerable groups served by NGOs and community partners. Through our thorough monitoring and evaluation process, we ensure the meals distributed by those partners are effectively used as a tool to change lives by promoting education, improving students’ health and nutrition, addressing gender inequalities, stimulating economic growth and fighting child labor.

Empowering Communities

Our second important approach to eradicating hunger centers around grassroots community empowerment. Rise Against Hunger India bolsters agricultural production and incomes through programs promoting improved agricultural methods, business skills, and market access. With training and access to quality seeds and fertilizers, farmers can increase production and harvest a variety of nutritious crops. This also entails encouraging farmers to become resilient to climate change issues by adapting climate smart agriculture and other adaptive farming practices.By supporting the establishment and augmentation of fish and livestock production, we also provide pathways to diversifying diets and improving nutritional outcomes.

Responding to Emergencies

Another core focus of Rise Against Hunger India is responding to crises–both natural and man-made. From droughts to floods, or during pandemic situations such as COVID-19, in conflict zones and transitioning political situations, food is often the most immediate need. When everyday access to food, wages, and market systems are destroyed in the wake of emergencies, Rise Against Hunger India works directly as well as through its field teams as well as its network of grassroots partners active on the ground to address these needs. We strive to ensure aid is efficiently and effectively deployed to and received by communities when it is needed most.

Growing the Movement

Regardless of your location, age, schedule or resources, we believe anyone from anywhere can take action and make a positive difference in the fight against hunger. Even seemingly small contributions can add up to a BIG impact. No single agency or government can end hunger alone, and it will take everyone to make this a movement.
