How is WHY unique in the fight against hunger and poverty?
WHY is convinced that solutions to hunger and poverty can be found at the grassroots level. WHY advances long-term solutions to hunger and poverty by supporting grassroots organizations that empower individuals and build self-reliance, i.e., offering job training, education and after school programs; increasing access to housing and healthcare; providing microcredit and entrepreneurial opportunities; teaching people to grow their own food; and assisting small farmers. WHY connects these organizations to funders, media and legislators. How can you help? Ending hunger and poverty is a doable and winnable task. It requires a combination of strengthening federal programs and supporting organizations that are solving the problems of hunger and poverty in their own communities.
