THE ACTION AGAINST HUNGER EMERGENCY TEAM IS READY TO DEPLOY WITHIN 24 HOURS
ADDRESS THESE CAUSES
Droughts, floods, extreme storms... The climate crisis is destroying crops and livestock and causing hunger.
Armed conflict is the main cause of hunger in the world, and civilians suffer the worst consequences.
When sudden disasters strike, we mobilise to provide livelihoods for families and help them recover.
We stand by children to ensure they have access to life-saving treatment and adequate nutrition.
WE HAVE ACHIEVED
When the worst earthquake in recent years struck Syria, people like Duha, 56, saw their homes destroyed overnight: "We used to live a very humble life, but with the earthquake, we have become very poor. Not just our family; all families. There are women who lost their husbands; now we have many widowed women. We have children who have lost limbs."
Duha and her four children had to move to the Abulkasem al-Shabi shelter, originally a school, so they did not have access to many basic services for the first few days. There were not enough toilets, showers or lighting, as the Hanano neighbourhood has had no electricity since the war began. "There were 210 families using only 5 toilets and no showers. We went 15 days without a bath," says Duha.
Action Against Hunger teams installed new toilets, new running water taps and prefabricated showers. They increased the number of toilet and hygiene facilities until there were enough for everyone and installed solar panels. "That really was a breakthrough. Before that we were afraid to walk here at night, the courtyard is very big and the area is very dark. We used to use our mobile phones for a little light, but now, with the solar energy system, we have light and hot water. In a way, it's as if life has become 'normal', as if we were at home," Duha celebrates.

At Action against Hunger, we are committed to maintaining constant communication with individuals and institutions that make specific contributions to specific projects. We will provide detailed information about the supported project or activity, as well as its results.
Your donations will go to projects dedicated to combating the causes and effects of hunger. They will help save the lives of undernourished children by ensuring that families have access to safe water, food, training and basic health care. Our efforts in Spain actively target the unemployment and socio-professional inclusion of people that face barriers when entering the job market.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have mobilized in over 50 countries to contain, prevent and mitigate its consequences. We strive to ensure the flexibility of funds and the implementation of social protection measures to counteract the socio-economic impact on the most vulnerable. In Spain, we adapted our employment and entrepreneurship programmes from the first days of the state of alarm, reinforcing psychosocial attention and providing access to technological support to avoid job exclusion, as well as distributing financial aid cards to vulnerable families.
We appreciate your donations to our NGO, which have allowed us to bring aid to more than 17 million people.

Transparency is one of our fundamental principles in Action against Hunger. Not only do we publish our accounts, but we implement mechanisms to ensure transparency in the destination of funds. In 2019, we underwent 92 audits and requirements, carried out by companies such as Deloitte and Ernst & Young, both at headquarters and in the countries where we operate.
In addition to audits that review the accounts of funds, Action against Hunger undergoes organizational audits at headquarters and project audits in the countries of intervention, both carried out by independent agencies. We are one of the few organizations that has a permanent internal auditor who reports directly to the Board of Trustees of the Foundation.
Out of every €10 we receive, €9 goes directly to beneficiaries in the field, and €1 goes to administration and logistics expenses.
