WHO ARE WE?
Action Against Hunger is an international humanitarian organisation that fights against the causes and effects of hunger. We save the lives of malnourished children. We ensure that families have access to clean water, food, basic health care and training. We support refugees in their basic needs. In Spain, we facilitate access to employment for people in vulnerable situations as a tool to prevent marginalisation and food insecurity.
