Action Against Hunger is a global humanitarian organization that takes decisive action against the causes and effects of hunger. Since 2013, Action Against Hunger Spain has been working on the idea that employment, both self-employment and salaried work, is an essential tool to combat food insecurity and social inequality in our country. In pursuit of this goal, we focus on:

  1. Provide Skills and Competencies: Equip people with the necessary skills and competencies to create a business or work for others, thereby ensuring a livelihood that keeps them away from poverty and exclusion.
  2. Promote Social and Labor Inclusion: Foster the social and labor inclusion of people at risk of exclusion by generating opportunities through entrepreneurship and employability initiatives.
  3. Offer Social Protection: Provide social protection to people in the most vulnerable situations, enabling them to access and remain in the labor market”
