In 2022 alone, Welthungerhilfe supported about 18.8 million people with its 603 overseas projects in 37 countries. In real terms, that means: Many people now harvest more and can therefore improve their diets.

They now have clean drinking water or toilets at home, which leaves them less susceptible to illness. Others are earning or producing more and can begin an education. For the children, WHH’s support means a chance of improved physical and mental development.

WHH bases its efforts on the principle of empowering people to help themselves, which it implements with measures ranging from rapid disaster relief to rehabilitation to long-term development cooperation projects with national and international partner organizations.
