Annual Report 2010

During my first several months as President and CEO ofThe Hunger Project (THP),I have learned a great deal, especially about the incredible impact our programs haveon women,men and children in the developing world.

ThoughTHP was still experiencing the effects of the global financial downturn in2010, much progress was made in our programs throughout Africa, South Asia andLatin America, as you will see throughout this report. New partnerships were formedto leverage our resources in the most effective manner, we were in the spotlightin the media — thanks to a wonderful book byTHP investors Kevin and HannahSalwen, as well as theWorld Hunger Day gala concert with DionneWarwick inLondon — and we are playing an increasingly active role in global initiatives as theworld strives to accelerate progress toward the Millennium Development Goals(MDGs) by 2015.

This upward momentum was aptly captured in the theme of our October Fall Eventin NewYork City, “Breaking New Ground.”At that event, I was deeply impressedby our global investor family. I learned that being part ofTHP’s family is one of themost important things in our investors’ lives. No matter where they are in the world,no matter how much they have chosen to invest, people feel deeply about theirconnection with our village partners across the globe, and they experience being partof something that is bigger than themselves.And, our village partners feel the sameway about our investors.

It is an honor and a privilege for me to be part of this family and to be able to callTHP “home.”As I said at the Fall Event, everything I have ever done in my life ––from non-profit leadership, to my faith community, to my volunteer experience, tomy personal political activism –– has led me toTHP.This is not a stepping stone inmy life’s work; it is the capstone.

I truly believe thatTHP has found the answer. It is not about helping or savingpeople. It’s about unleashing the power of people to take charge of their ownfuture — and walking in partnership with them as they undertake this journeyfor themselves.

I thank you for joining us along the way.

• 3.7 million people have participated in THP’sVision, Commitment and Action Workshopssince 1993.

• 44,000 people are actively participating inour Microfinance Program in Africa –– with aloan portfolio totaling $2.4 million in 2010.

• In 2010, Microfinance Program participantsdeposited over $1 million in savings.

• Since 1993, more than 250,000 volunteers inBangladesh have been trained, and they areinitiating projects such as education campaignsfor safe drinking water and sanitation, formingself-help groups for income-generation andadvocating for an end to violence againstwomen.

• More than 78,600 elected women representa-tives in India have been trained by THP andlocal partner organizations since 2000, andthese women are speaking out to bring water,health and education to their villages.

THP is a global, non-profit, strategic organ-ization committed to the sustainable end ofworld hunger.We work in 12 countries inAfrica, South Asia and Latin America — inpartnership with people at the grassrootslevel — to develop effective, bottom-upstrategies to end hunger and poverty.

THP has discovered three critical elementsthat, when combined, empower people tomake rapid progress in overcoming hungerand poverty:

Mobilizing people atthe grassroots level tobuild self-reliance.

THP strategies seek to build people’scapacities, leadership and confidence.Our aim is to overcome the deepresignation people in the developing worldoften find themselves in as a result of faileddevelopment initiatives.THP urges peoplenot to wait to be rescued, but to take actionnow to meet their basic needs.

Empowering womenas key change agents.Women bear almost allresponsibility for meeting the

basic needs of the family, yet are system-atically denied the resources, informationand freedom of action they need to fulfillthis responsibility.THP firmly believes that

empowering women to be key changeagents is critical to achieving the end ofhunger and poverty.

Forging partnershipswith local government.Local government is closestto the people and has the

mission of working with people tomeet their basic needs.THP works inpartnership with local government bodiesto ensure that they are effective, includethe leadership of women, are directlyaccountable to local people and provideaccess to resources and information.

THP’s approach is different from theconventional, top-down approaches thatfollow a service-delivery model and oftenundermine our most important resource:the creativity and self-reliance of peopleliving in conditions of hunger and povertythemselves.

While our programs differ in detail tobetter meet local conditions in eachcountry where we work, they all sharea unified approach based on the abovethree elements.

• In eight African countries,THP mobilizesmore than 100 village clusters (calledepicenters) to work together to establish andmanage their own programs for

microfinance, health, education, foodsecurity, income generation and genderequality.

• In nine states of India,THP trains andempowers women leaders who have beenelected to village councils to be the keychange agents for ending hunger andpoverty in their villages.

• Across Bangladesh,THP trains andempowers volunteer leaders, calledanimators, to mobilize their villagesand strengthen the institutions of localdemocracy so people can meet theirbasic needs.

• In Mexico and Peru,THP focuses onthe people who are most marginalized,particularly indigenous women, and carriesout strategies to end their marginalizationand empower them to learn to read, launchnew enterprises and work in partnershipwith local government.

•Worldwide,THP sustains a movementof more than 6,000 individuals and over160 institutions.These investors, as wecall them, are not simply donors, butinvolved partners and stakeholders inthe fulfillment of our mission.

Gita Rani Bormon, VolunteerAnimator, THP-BangladeshI became a housewife at an early age,like most women of Bangladesh. I didnot get anything from my husband,not even a sari. I surrendered my lifeto fate, as my only job was toproduce children and take care of thefamily. I was even denied continuingmy education.

Suddenly I got the opportunity tojoin the 62nd batch of the THP-Bangladesh animators trainingcourse. It changed my life andcompletely shaped my way ofthinking. I discovered myself in awhole new way and I discovered theenormous degree of my potential.I developed a new attitude andcourage, and I began takinginitiatives to change my life andthe lives of others.

I am part of The Hunger Project’s140,000 volunteer animators and amember of the Unleashed Women’sNetwork. And, several thousandwomen like me are also membersof this network. The thing I am mostproud of is my work with pregnantwomen to ensure the safe birth oftheir children.

However, my work is far from over ––it has only begun.

Amita Devi, Panchayat Leader,THP-IndiaWhen I got elected [to my panchayat,or village council] I was not allowedto talk to strangers. I had noconfidence and my family ridiculedme at every step. They withheldinformation and did not want me tostep out of my prescribed boundariesto achieve something.

Once I returned after The HungerProject’s Women’s LeadershipWorkshop, my family threw me outof my house. I thought to myself: ifthis can happen to a Mukhiya [councilhead] then how much violence theother women in my panchayat mustface. It was that day that I realizedthe importance of my post and thepower within me to bring change. Iresolved to fight for the rights of thewomen in my panchayat. And, todayI am fully immersed in my work.

I have come far, and my personalempowerment came from thetraining given by THP. It was uniqueand I am truly grateful to THP andto all of you who have supportedme in this work.

Like me, there are one million otherelected women representatives inmy country who need your support.
