About the Organization
The Hunger Project-Ghana (THP) is non-profit, strategic organization committed to the sustainable end of hunger in Ghana. It has since its inception in Ghana in 1996, been involved in capacity building of communities towards the sustainable end of hunger and poverty through self reliance for productive and healthy living through the Epicenter strategy. We were created as a strategic organization, reinventing ourselves time and again to meet each challenge and opportunity along the path of ending hunger. Our programs are based on an innovative, holistic approach, which empowers women and men living in rural villages to become the agents of their own development and make sustainable progress in overcoming hunger and poverty.The Hunger Project-Ghana (THP) is non-profit, strategic organization committed to the sustainable end of hunger in Ghana.
