'''The Hunger Project''' (THP) is a [[501(c)(3)]] [[non-profit]] [[charitable organization]] incorporated in the state of [[California]].<ref name=Giveorg>"[http://charityreports.give.org/Public/Report.aspx?CharityID=1320 Global Hunger Project]". Give.org/[[BBB]]. February 2006. Retrieved [[September 17]], [[2006]].</ref> The Hunger Project describes itself as committed to the sustainable end of world hunger. In thirteen countries in Africa, Asia and [[Latin America]], the organization claims it implements programs that mobilize rural grassroots communities to achieve sustainable progress in [[health]], [[education]], [[nutrition]] and [[family income]] [http://www.thp.org/overview/mission.html]. Since its inception, it has also received criticism and is still controversial (see [[Hunger Project#Public criticism|Public criticism]] below).
==Current activities==
===Primary activities===
{{Advert|date=December 2007}}
In Africa (in [[Benin]], [[Burkina Faso]], [[Ethiopia]], [[Ghana]], [[Malawi]], [[Mozambique]], [[Senegal]] and [[Uganda]]) The Hunger Project claims to carry out what it calls its "epicenter" strategy. The Project states that it organizes clusters of 10 to 15 villages to establish and manage their own programs for rural [[bank]]ing, improved agriculture, food-processing, income-generation, adult functional [[literacy]], food-security, and primary health-care (including the prevention of HIV/AIDS). Among its claims are a committee of villagers (with equal representation of women and men) that manages each epicenter facility and the existence of a special program of [[microfinance]], the African Woman Food Farmer Initiative, integrated with the epicenter strategy [http://www.thp.org/africa/].
In Latin America, where [[poverty]] especially affects rural indigenous communities, The Hunger Project claims that it works with such communities to overcome their economic marginalization - particularly that of the indigenous women. The Hunger Project claims it implements programs in indigenous communities of [[Bolivia]], [[Peru]] and [[Mexico]] [http://www.thp.org/latinamerica/].
===Financial and accountability reports===
The Hunger Project claims it raises funds, via contributions, in the following countries [http://www.thp.org.au Australia], [http://thehungerproject.ca Canada], [[Germany]], [[Japan]], [[New Zealand]], [http://www.hungerprojektet.se Sweden], [[Switzerland]], the [http://www.thehungerproject.nl Netherlands], the [http://thehungerproject.org.uk United Kingdom] and the [[United States]].
According to its online report retrieved February 2007, [[Charity Navigator]] reports that The Hunger Project's program costs in FY2005 were 80.2% of expenses, and administrative and fundraising costs were 19.8%.<ref>"[http://charitynavigator.org/index.cfm/bay/search.summary/orgid/6427.htm The Hunger Project]". [[Charity Navigator]].</ref> Give.org/[[Better Business Bureau|BBB]] reports that as of December 2006, the Project's program expenses were 77% of total, and administrative and fundraising costs 23% and meets all of its standards.<ref name=Giveorg/> [[Charity Navigator]] gives The Hunger Project four out of four stars, and the [[American Institute of Philanthropy]] gives it an A- rating.<ref>"[http://www.charitywatch.org/toprated.html Top Rated Charities]". [[American Institute of Philanthropy]]. Retrieved [[September 17]], [[2006]].</ref>
The Hunger Project met the standards to be listed on the 2004 Combined Federal Campaign National List<ref>"[http://www.opm.gov/cfc/04lists/2004NationalListwithout25WordStatements.doc 2004 Combined Federal Campaign National List]" (Word document, see "Global Hunger Project", item #1436).

==History==
===Public criticism===
Since its inception, there has been criticism of The Hunger Project by the public and the press. This criticism has mainly focused on:
* the organization's original ties to [[Werner Erhard]], [[Erhard Seminars Training]], and their philosophies;
* the failure of the Hunger Project to reach its goal of "ending world hunger by 1997..."; <ref>Gordon, Suzanne (December 1978). "Let them eat est". ''[[Mother Jones (magazine)|Mother Jones]]''. Vol. 3, No. 10, pp. 40-44, 49-50, 52-54</ref>
* the focus of the Project (1977-1990) on public education and advocacy, rather than providing food and other direct action;<ref name=Refutation>''The Hunger Project Refutes Innuendos'', May 2006, The Hunger Project, website, http://www.thp.org/overview/responses/</ref> (On [[May 30]], [[1981]] the board of directors of [[Oxfam Canada]] passed a resolution which stated they would not endorse any activities or programs sponsored by The Hunger Project, nor would they accept funds from the project.<ref name=McGill>Bell, Daniel and Weston, Brendan ([[February 13]], [[1985]]). "Hunger Project feeds itself". ''[[McGill Daily]]''</ref>)
* recent activity of The Hunger Project to remove critical articles from the Internet.<ref name=Purge>[[Rick Ross (consultant)|Ross, Rick]] ([[April 9]], [[2004]]). "[http://www.rickross.com/reference/hunger_project/hunger_project2.html The Hunger Project attempts to purge criticism and history from the Internet]". [http://www.rickross.com Rick Ross Institute]. Retrieved [[September 2]], [[2006]].</ref>
* the lack of available, third-party, non-corporate information to verify its claims.
====Project reaction against criticism====
The Hunger Project has responded to articles it considers false and defamatory by sending letters threatening legal action, and in some instances undertaking legal proceedings, resulting, in some cases, in apologies, correction and payment of damages.{{Fact|date=January 2008}}
[[Mother Jones (magazine)|Mother Jones]], the [[The Christian Century]], [[the fifth estate]], [[Carol Giambalvo]], [[Rick Ross (consultant)|Rick Ross]], and Jim Provenzano have all received complaints from The Hunger Project for publishing articles that The Hunger Project considered to be false and defamatory.
<blockquote>...the Hunger Project has reacted strongly against other reporters who have attempted to cover the group's activities. [[Pat Lynch (reporter)|Pat Lynch]], then an [[NBC News]] reporter, stated that the Hunger Project carried out a four-month campaign to discredit her while she was preparing what eventually became an ''[[NBC Nightly News|NBC Evening News]]'' segment in 1980. And when [http://www.journalismjobs.com/noyes.cfm Dan Noyes] was asked by a radio station in 1983 to participate in a program with a Hunger Project spokesperson, the organization refused to appear. Instead they requested a tape of the program with Noyes alone for review by the group's lawyer.<ref>[[David Weir (journalist)|Weir, David]]; [http://www.journalismjobs.com/noyes.cfm Noyes, Dan]; and [http://www.muckraker.org/ Center for Investigative Reporting] (1983).
