Department of Hunger and Livelihoods
Save the Children's Hunger & Livelihoods programs work to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty by helping parents provide for their children's basic needs and equipping young people to transition into safe, dignified work. Programs focus on improving the food supply, farming practices and finances of families in need, and skill building for young people. Our programs are complemented by rigorous research and evaluation activities and the results shared widely.
