The Hunger Project (THP) is proud of our approach: forming partnerships with indigenous communities and focusing on gender and community-led development. We empower Indigenous women by amplifying their voice and agency in decision-making, aligning with their values and providing tailored technical support for their visions. This empowerment leads to both intangible outcomes, like increased confidence among women and girls, and tangible results, such as the creation of sustainable food enterprises in three Oaxaca and Chiapas communities.  For this project, three communities in Oaxaca and Chiapas will form locally-owned, sustainable food system-based enterprises: traditional totopos-making, mountain orchards, and tilapia ponds. The results of our Indigenous partners’ vision, planning, and entrepreneurship will increase household food security in the short term. The long-term outcomes will extend far beyond the grant period, ensuring over 2,000 rural, Indigenous individuals have sustainable food access, a diverse diet, and higher household incomes. Additionally, these benefits will reach broader markets, impacting more than 3,000 people.
