Who we are

What is Action Against Hunger’s mission? Action Against Hunger’s mission is to save lives, especially those of malnourished children, and to work with vulnerable populations to preserve and restore their livelihoods with dignity. ABOUT ACTION AGAINST HUNGER Action Against Hunger is an international humanitarian organisation committed to saving the lives of malnourished children and working with vulnerable populations to preserve and restore their livelihoods with dignity. Our teams do their utmost day after day to ensure that people are given access to the most basic of human rights - the right to food.

The organisation was created in 1979 and has since developed within the framework of an international network (ACF International Network) with headquarters in France, Spain, Canada, the UK and the US. In carrying out our activities, all members adhere to a charter of principles that form the foundation of our humanitarian commitment: independence, impartiality, non-discrimination, free and direct access, professionalism and transparency.
