“For us at The Hunger Project, education directly contributes to transforming the systems of inequity that cause hunger and allow it to persist,” said Rowlands Kaotcha, President and CEO of The Hunger Project. “It is fundamental to creating a world without hunger. It builds self-reliance, shifts mindsets and unlocks human potential. When people, especially women and girls, have access to education, they gain the knowledge and confidence to challenge the systems that inhibit growth and lead their communities toward a future free from hunger.”
In celebration of Mandela’s legacy, we recommit to his belief that education is a catalyst for transformation. His vision reminds us that true change starts with knowledge and the people who share it. Together, we can continue the work he started by building a world where every person has the opportunity to learn, lead and thrive.
