Tell Me About Award:

Because food security is a fundamental right, because Stop Hunger and Women In Africa believe in the potential and determination of women to lift the most vulnerable communities out of hunger – together they created the Women for Zero Hunger program, in order to support associations fighting against hunger and food insecurity in Africa.

Launched in 2016, WIA Philanthropy is the first international platform dedicated to the economic development and support of African women entrepreneurs. At WIA Philanthropy, we are convinced that Pan-African women contribute greatly, through their actions, to the change and impact they bring to the continent’s progress. 

Stop Hunger acts locally and sustainably for a hunger free world. Created 25 years ago by Sodexo employees, Stop Hunger is a global non-profit network mobilized to eliminate food insecurity by leadership activities going beyond food aid, with a priority: empowering women.

“Women for Zero Hunger” will enable 3 non-profit organizations:

• to be visible: to inspire, to be recognized and to have more impact;

• to be mentored: to benefit from expert advice and personalized support;

• to be funded: each of the 3 associative structures will receive €10,000. At the end of the mentoring program, one of the three finalist structures will be chosen by the jury members on the basis of pre-established criteria. In addition, the representative will be invited to the annual Stop Hunger event in Paris to receive a trophy and benefit from a crowdfunding operation during the event.
