Action Against Hunger (Fight Hunger Foundation)

Action Against Hunger (AAH) registered as Fight Hunger Foundation was established to address the problem of acute malnutrition observed in children under five in India. While feeding the hungry is essential, the non-profit has adopted a sustainable and an integrated model to tackle malnutrition cases.

AAH has developed a strategy that is based on three pillars:

1. Sensitising stakeholders including the state government, hospitals, schools, national institutions and international organisations through various awareness building sessions.
2. Implementing programs to prevent, detect and treat undernourished cases by partnering with local healthcare centres and community workers.
3. Conducting research to understand the underlying causes of acute malnutrition by collaborating with business schools and research institutes.

AAH firmly believes that malnutrition is an outcome of many social factors. Through its comprehensive approach, AAH has helped the poor develop long term sources of income to create self-sufficiency and to fight malnutrition. The non-profit works with children, pregnant women and mothers. With help of local partners, AAH has ensured that the communities have access to clean water and helps them develop safe hygiene practises to prevent diseases.

AAH is growing rapidly and is currently present in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra. It has partnered with ACF International, the leading global organisation in the war against hunger that reached out to over 21 million children across 47 countries.

An individual can become a life time member with AAH by donating a sum of  ₹ 500,000.
