Location:

Historically, Freedom from Hunger had a significant global presence, operating programs in over 20 countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Its functions primarily involved designing and implementing integrated financial, educational, and health services for the rural poor, often through local partner organizations. Key areas of focus included microcredit, savings programs, maternal and child health education, nutrition, and business development training. This global work and its learnings are now carried forward by Grameen Foundation.
