Theory of Change

Driven by a vision of a world without hunger Rise Against Hunger (RAH) is growing a global movement to end hunger by empowering communities, nourishing lives and responding to emergencies. The organization has a long history in aid distribution work through its meal packaging program, bringing dehydrated, high protein, and highly nutritious meals to crisis situations and educational and health programs in the developing world. RAH has a growing portfolio of programs aimed at eliminating chronic hunger and malnutrition through sustainable community development that builds resilience against the drivers of food insecurity.
Under the Sustainable Development Goals formalized through the United Nations’ Division for Sustainable Development in September 2015, the world has committed to achieving food security for every man, woman, and child on earth by 2030. Food and nutrition security is achieved through the confluence of a complex and dynamic set of conditions, and sustainably ending hunger means eliminating not only chronic undernutrition, but also ensuring that vulnerable communities are resilient to shocks and stresses - which are set to increase in frequency and intensity as population increases and conflict and climate change exacerbate vulnerabilities.5 RAH is dedicated to playing a major role in ending hunger over the next 12-15 years, requiring growth as a global organization and scaling up of efforts to empower people to address food insecurity in their lives. Rise Against Hunger development efforts will directly contribute to Sustainable Development Goal 2: “End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture.”

Milestones & Track Record

In 2022 a total of 4.99 million nutritious meals were served to those in need. Of this, 2.87 million meals were part of the COVID-19 second wave response for which we were able to
mobilize Rs 32 million from various sources. Our partnership with NGOs / Voluntary Groups
increased to over 270 because of the wide outreach in our COVID response covering 73 districts in 17 states. Virtual Volunteering which was initiated during the COVID first wave continued to pick up pace and in this year we had 279 virtual volunteers registering with us,
which included group events with Corporates too.

In 2021, 2.87 million meals were served to 229,280 beneficiaries in 73 districts of 17
states, economically affected by the second wave of COVID-19. Of this, 376,488 meals were served to 2,313 crematorium/cemetery workers who were working around the clock to help with last rites of those deceased due to COVID-19. These low-paid workers were always in the background and their needs were going unnoticed as they were putting in extra work with no extra payment as the death rate was so high.

Project Shield-Up was implemented in mid-2021 to remove COVID-19 vaccine
hesitancy, using 33,302 IEC materials, which resulted in 6,971 people coming forward
on their own for COVID vaccines

After the Yaas cyclone in 2021, a unit was set up in the Sundarbans area of West Bengal,
which provides drinking water to 300 households in an area where all water sources had
contaminated because of the cyclone.

In 2020, 3.3 million meals were served to 652,263 beneficiaries in 36 districts of 9 states,
economically affected by the first wave of COVID-19.
