They train populations to be self-sufficient. Although these dedicated men and women want to eliminate the need for their services, humanity is not willing and forces them to witness the most heinous actions.

Action Against Hunger Programs
Their programs reach some 5 million people a year, restoring dignity, self-sufficiency, and independence to vulnerable populations around the world.
They provide programs in five different areas:
- Nutrition | Action Against Hunger
- Action Against Hunger's nutrition programs treat and prevent acute malnutrition.
- Water, Sanitation, Hygiene | Action Against Hunger
- Action Against Hunger's integrated approach to hunger involves extending water and sanitation services to communities faced with water scarcity, unsafe drinking water, inadequate sanitation, and poor hygiene.
- Food Security | Action Against Hunger
- Action Against Hunger's food security programming forms a continuum with the work they do in nutrition.
- Health | Action Against Hunger
- A vicious circle exists between disease and malnutrition. A malnourished child is more vulnerable to diseases than a well-fed child. A sick child, weakened by illness, often becomes a victim of malnutrition. It is therefore necessary to fight disease to combat hunger.
- Advocacy | Action Against Hunger
- Action Against Hunger works where populations face routine violations of fundamental human needs-access to food, drinking water, land and livelihoods.
