Deadline: February 24, 2023
Applications are invited for the Women for Zero Hunger Programme 2023. Stop Hunger and Women in Africa believe in the potential and determination of women to lift the most vulnerable communities out of hunger, therefore, together they created the Women for Zero Hunger programme, in order to support associations fighting against hunger and food insecurity in Africa.
Launched in 2016, Women In Africa (WIA) is the first international platform dedicated to the economic development and support of African women entrepreneurs. At WIA, they 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 is Sodexo’s sole philanthropic cause and works for a hunger-free world. Initiated in the United States in 1996 by Sodexo collaborators, the movement has grown globally, now present in 60 countries, working hand in hand with more than 300 NGOs.
