Conversation for Empowerment in Ending World Hunger

This group is an invitation to explore the existing discourse on empowerment in efforts to end world hunger. We will tie together organizations and social media activity that focus work and ideas from within a paradigm of empowerment and establishing self-reliance, as compared to a discourse of charity. The intent is to distinguish and expand the empowerment discourse, in hopes of strengthening efforts to:

·         mobilize people at the grassroots level to build self-reliance (The Hunger Project)

·         empower women as key change agents (The Hunger Project) in ending global poverty (Women Thrive Worldwide)

·         strengthen capacity for self-help (CARE)

·         provide economic opportunity (CARE)

·         address discrimination in all its forms (CARE)

·         partner with and transform communities (World Vision)

·         strengthen the capacity of women, children, youth, and civil society organizations to actively participate in local and national development and to transform their societies (Winrock)

·         encourage giving and contributing as an act of investment in people for a shared future without hunger

This site is open to all, and we invite the wisdom of the masses in distinguishing and focusing this conversation.
