Though the bulk of Share Our Strength’s grants go to domestic programs through the No Kid Hungry campaign, the organization was originally founded in response to an international hunger crisis – the 1984 famine in Ethiopia – and we continue to help effective groups around the world that are working to feed those in need.
Our work beyond the borders of the United States stays true to our strategic approach of identifying the most effective programs, and finding ways to strengthen, expand and replicate them.
Specifically, we know that school meals are a reliable, proven way to help children, so much of our work goes to help people who are working on similar programs in their communities.
