HungerMovement.org is an online community center and repository of information for those concerned about hunger and poverty in the world. Its mission is to:
• Increase awareness of the causes and problems of hunger and poverty.
• Inform people that hunger and poverty can be ended and encourage them to join in the effort to bring about that end.
• Provide resources and interaction venues to those working to end hunger and poverty.
It is a place where leading thinkers and innovators in the field can present their ideas to a wide audience and where organizations can share their activities and successes. A repository of information on hunger and poverty, it is much more than an archive. HungerMovement.org offers interactive opportunities for people to engage in discussion and take action.
HungerMovement.org is a Heifer International (www.heifer.org [1]) website. Founded in 1944, Heifer International is a humanitarian assistance organization that works to end world hunger and protect the earth. Through livestock, training, and "passing on the gift," Heifer has helped seven million families in more than 125 countries improve their quality of life and move toward greater self-reliance. Heifer helps build strong communities because each project participant agrees to pass on the gift of animal offspring, training or skills to another family in need.
