We are a global humanitarian organisation that takes decisive action against the causes and effects of hunger. We’re tackling acute malnutrition in over 50 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East.
We provide high-quality technical and operational support, we have contributed to the development of revolutionary nutrition products and we have led the field-testing of treatment protocols that are now considered the global standard.
Our diverse teams of dedicated national and international staff work together to end child hunger. As a network, we are known for our expertise in implementing needs-based and principled life-saving interventions in response to humanitarian crises.
In a growing number of countries, we are also recognised as a trusted development partner working at multiple levels to address the systemic causes of malnutrition.
Our field teams are recognised for their competencies in each of the contexts of the nutrition and health component, being part of all the technical worktables and leadership of change actions for their country.
