Women for Zero Hunger Program 2024( €10,000 Award)
The Women for Zero Hunger Program was created by Stop Hunger and Women In Africa believe in the potential and determination of women to lift the most vulnerable communities out of hunger – together they created the Women for Zero Hunger program, in order to support associations fighting against hunger and food insecurity in Africa.
Launched in 2016, WIA Philanthropy is the first international platform dedicated to the economic development and support of African women entrepreneurs. At WIA Philanthropy, we 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 acts locally and sustainably for a hunger free world. Created 25 years ago by Sodexo employees, Stop Hunger is a global non-profit network mobilized to eliminate food insecurity by leadership activities going beyond food aid, with a priority: empowering women.
Benefits for Women for Zero Hunger Program

This will give the winning association extra visibility as a crowdfunding operation during the event.
