Freedom from Hunger
In October 2016, major operating functions of Freedom From Hunger were integrated into Grameen Foundation. At the same time, Freedom From Hunger continues as a supporting organization of Grameen Foundation, supporting our mission as it guides projects around the world. Freedom from Hunger works to achieve a world without hunger and poverty through innovative microfinance programs that integrate financial services with education and health protection. Its projects address the complex relationships that exist between gender inequality, food security, and poverty. Freedom From Hunger has unique strengths in evidence-based research to guide program design and evaluation, and the design and delivery of e-Learning and training products. These educational resources serve everyone from executives of financial service organizations, to field staff, to non-literate members of self-help groups.
Freedom from Hunger India Trust
Freedom from Hunger India Trust is a registered Indian public charitable Trust that guides and implements Freedom from Hunger programs in India. Its objective is to achieve nutrition and food security, reduce poverty, and improve the economic and social status of poor and marginalized women and their families. It works with a range of local partners to integrate microfinance with other essential services such as health, information, and livelihood opportunities. The Trust operates under the direction of founding Trustees with deep experience and connection with India’s social service sector, and draws its inspiration from the vision and mission of the parent organization.
