We’re Growing Hope Globally!
More than 815 million people in this world do not have enough to eat.
We believe in a world of plenty, no person should go hungry.

Lasting Impact
We help those living in the poorest regions of the world grow their own food and earn an income. When people have the tools and training to take charge of their futures, positive change not only happens — it lasts.

Food Security
When all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs for an active and healthy life. Learn how families are breaking the cycle of poverty and ending their struggle with hunger through agricultural development.

Hope Grows
Through our Growing Projects, U.S. farmers gather together with their churches and surrounding communities to become part of the solution — raising money and awareness to end world hunger.
