__The Hunger Project__ The organization, The Hunger Project, was founded in 1977 because of the debate on rising world hunger triggered by the first Rome World Food Conference. The Hunger Project is a global, non-profit, strategic organization committed to the sustainable end of world hunger. As a nonprofit organization, the THP's impact towards world hunger is made possible through the donations of many individuals. This organization works to end the hunger in 13 countries, where there are more than 1.02 billion people starving. Many deaths are due to diarrhea, malaria, and pneumonia, which are directly related to their malnourishment and 200 million children under the age of 5 are underweight. Their mission is to end hunger and poverty by empowering people to meet their own basic needs and build better futures for their children. They mobilize villages to build self-reliance and forge effective partnerships with their local governments. The organization also tries to empower women as key change agents because women do not have equal rights in the countries where THP helps. The Hunger Project's vision is to achieve the sustainable end of hunger. Through ending hunger, this organization strives to create a new future for the people where babies are born strong and healthy, children stay alive, and people have control over their own lives.
