“Only through good governance and supportive political, social and economic conditions can we achieve sustainable progress in the fight against hunger. This requires targeted, long-term investment in resilient food systems. Wars such as those in the Gaza Strip and Sudan have led to catastrophic famines. Decisive action and international political commitment are needed to overcome hunger,” emphasizes Mathias Mogge, Secretary General of Welthungerhilfe.
Welthungerhilfe is one of the largest private aid organizations in Germany; it is politically independent and non-denominational. With courage and determination, it is striving for a world without hunger. Since it was founded on December 14, 1962, 12,777 overseas projects in about 72 countries and territories have been supported with 5.42 billion euros. Welthungerhilfe follows the principle of empowering people to help themselves to sustainably improve their living conditions, through approaches ranging from fast disaster relief to reconstruction and long-term development cooperation projects with national and international partner organizations.
