Women for Zero Hunger Programme 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
