International Hunger
Presbyterian Hunger Program responds to global hunger through:
- Development projects: supporting immediate needs using community-based approaches.
- Advocacy: campaign work done primarily through the Joining Hands initiative, identifying and addressing policies and corporate practices that create or perpetuate hunger.
We support partners as they:
- Support Sustainable Livelihoods — empowering people to feed themselves, in ways which respect their culture, the land, and traditional knowledge.
- Develop Leaders and Build Capacities — providing people and communities with training and skills to achieve their development goals, and building the capacity to identify root causes of poverty and organize for change.
- Defend Resource Rights — accompanying civil society groups and communities as they work to protect and defend fundamental human and natural resource rights.
Much of PHP’s work defending resource rights is done through Joining Hands, with foci on food sovereignty, land rights, transparency in resource extraction, preserving and protecting native seeds, defending public health, and international trade agreements.
