CHILD MARRIAGE
Every 3 seconds somewhere in the world a child gets married. With a donation to The Hunger Project Switzerland, you change the life of a girl today.
With a donation of 50 Swiss francs, you enable a girl to get access to education
Education is one of the most powerful tools in the fight against child marriage.
With a contribution of 50 francs
For example, you help a woman to be elected mayor of her village.
Child marriage forces girls out of school. They become pregnant before they are fully developed physically.
This creates a cycle of malnutrition and deprives them of the opportunity to create their own future. The Hunger Project trains local “animators” to educate their community about the importance of girls going to school.

Women and girls are still disadvantaged and oppressed in Indian society today.
According to the law, 30 to 50 percent of women in India must be represented in the government. The Hunger Project trains women in leadership workshops lasting three to four days. The knowledge they acquire enables them to assume their function and responsibility in the local council (“panchayat”) in a stronger position, so that they can lead their village out of hunger independently.
In Africa, too, women are trained in workshops by The Hunger Project to assume key positions in their communities. Thanks to the decisions made by these women, essential measures are introduced and important goals are achieved in order to overcome hunger in their villages on a sustainable basis.
