LETTER FROM OUR

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

Dear Friends:

This past year pushed humanitarian organizations to the limit with multiple simultaneous emergencies including the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Action Against Hunger responded, reaching a record-breaking thirteen million people around the world.

The year 2014 also marked an anniversary. Thirty-five years ago, Action Against Hunger was established spe-cifically to combat hunger worldwide. We have made huge progress in reducing preventable child deaths, but the tragic reality is that a child dies of severe malnutri-tion every thirty seconds. We can, and must, do better.

We are entering a time of tremendous momentum and growth. Our U.S. headquarters in New York has just moved to a larger space, one that will help us col-laborate and grow even more. Action Against Hunger has also just finalized an aggressive five-year strategic plan, and we are working on creative ways to reach many more people.

But we are still the organization you know and trust. We recently learned that we have earned Charity Navigator’s highest rating of four stars for the ninth consecutive year—only one percent of the charities rated by this organization are in this category. We are honored by this recognition, and we will continue to earn your support.

Hunger is of vital importance because it is about something so much bigger. Ending hunger means more than survival—it’s about creating opportunities for bright futures. We work to help children reach healthy adulthood, which allows their family, community, and country to grow. We work to unlock that potential, but we could not do any of it without a vibrant community of corporate partners, individuals, and institutional do-nors supporting us each step of the way. Thank you for everything you do to help end hunger in the world.

Sincerely,

Raymond Debbane Chairman of the Board

LETTER FROM OUR

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Dear Friends:

The humanitarian community faced new territory in 2014, with a record number of Level 3 crises—top-lev-el emergencies—happening at the same time. The UNHCR also reported that the number of people forc-ibly displaced at the end of 2014 was the highest level ever recorded—nearly 60 million people. Because of our presence in over 45 countries, we are often already on the ground when disaster strikes, and this was the case when emergencies were declared in South Sudan, Central African Republic, Iraq, and Syria. In addition, we were already active in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea at the start of the largest, longest, and deadli-est Ebola outbreak in history.

The duration and complexity of these events created an unprecedented burden on funding budgets and challenged the humanitarian community to respond.

But throughout all of these emergencies and life-saving interventions, we never lost sight of finding sustainable solutions in the countries where we work. We expand-ed and enhanced our partnerships with universities and private companies in order to find field-based evidence to improve all of our practices—for the long-term, for life.

We strive to be the voice of people in need, working closely with local government officials, donor agencies, the general public, and other stakeholders to raise awareness and address the root causes of hunger. Collaboration is essential, because no one organization can end hunger alone. Governments, corporations, foundations, civil society groups, and individuals must all play their role in the fight against hunger. Thanks for doing your part by joining us.

Sincerely,

Andrea Tamburini Chief Executive Officer

A GUIDE TO OUR PROGRAMS

NUTRITION

Malnutrition is predictable, preventable, and treatable. We know when and where deadly malnutrition is likely to strike and can restore severely malnourished children to health with 90-95% success rates.

FOOD SECURITY & LIVELIHOODS

We engage local communities to determine what is causing hunger, and then create a plan to provide the tools, capital, and training to put people on the road to self-sufficiency.

WATER, SANITATION & HYGIENE

As part of our integrated approach to hunger, we bring safe water, sanitation, and hygiene services to communities in need all over the world.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE

From cholera epidemics sweeping through refugee camps, to catastrophic natural disasters, to spikes in malnutrition rates brought on by drought, Action Against Hunger delivers immediate life-saving services to populations in distress.

In December 2013, conflict erupt-ed in South Sudan, and has yet to stop. Tens of thousands of people have been killed and millions have fled from their homes. One moth-er and child caught in the conflict are Amiir and Nyibel.

At just 18 months old, Nyibel has already known more turmoil than many of us will ever experience. When her father was killed in Bentiu, the rest of her family ran for their lives. They set-tled among thousands of other families in the dusty confines of a camp for the displaced in Malualkon, in South Sudan’s Northern Bahr el Ghazal region.

Nyibel was admitted to our stabilization center suffering from life-threatening malnutri-tion. We quickly admitted her for around-the-clock treatment and care. While Nyibel has been receiving treatment, her mother has learned more about good hygiene practice and breast-feeding—both of which can help prevent a relapse.

In 2014, we treated almost 700 children like Nyibel, pictured below, in stabilization centers in South Sudan.

In Kenya, drought is the single most important natural hazard in terms of shattered livelihoods, hunger, deaths, and nutrition-re-lated diseases. In addition, poor sanitation and lack of access to clean drinking water is a major contributor to illness. Diarrhea is the third main cause of death in children, and waterborne illness is the number one cause of hospital-ization in Kenyan children under five. That’s why we work closely with local officials and the com-munity to provide clean water and create long-term solutions.

Our board member, Sabina Fila, recently visited West Pokot, where she saw her support in action at the inauguration of the Tatwa water point. The county is promot-ing motorized pumps with multiple taps like this one, which are able to serve many more people. In addi-tion, motorized pumps last longer between repairs than hand pumps, which require more frequent main-tenance. This solar powered water

point will serve over 750 people, and will be maintained by a local water management committee. Major maintenance will be support-ed by the county office.

During the year we also started an initiative in West Pokot County to alleviate chronic malnutrition, bringing together national and county government ministries, UN agencies, and local and internation-al NGOs to address the cause of chronic vulnerability to malnutrition and to build nutrition resilience.

In addition, we helped over 330,000 Somalis who fled conflict and were living in Kenya’s Dadaab camp. We

created two pilot programs to de-fine the source of local under-nutrition and influence nutrition practices in the long-term. One of the pilots, called Communication for Development, influenced social be-havior change communication pro-grams in refugee camps worldwide.

Action Against Hunger opened of-fices in Abuja in 2010, and has since seen rapid growth in the country, especially as Nigeria ranks as one of the highest in the world for the number of children who are se-verely malnourished. Our approach from the start has been to work with both national agencies and local communities to build capacity to treat deadly malnutrition. We supported the Ministry of Health with the development of national guidelines for nutritional treatment and also partnered with Nigeria’s

Rural Water and Sanitation Agency to rehabilitate water points.

In late 2014, violence in northern Nigeria caused over one million people to flee, with the highest number of internally displaced people in the Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe states. Nigerians who have fled the conflict-related violence have settled in cities, and most are living with host families. Since they are not in formal settle-ments, it is extremely difficult for humanitarian agencies to assist them. Action Against Hunger has had ongoing operations in Yobe state since 2011, and began activ-ities in Borno in 2014 in response to the crisis. Our teams focused on

the immediate needs that emerged following the waves of displace-ment, and aimed to provide critical humanitarian, multi-sectoral assistance for the victims of this complex emergency, including the largest electronic transfer project in Nigeria, which supports inter-nally displaced people with cash transfers and food vouchers.

In South Kivu province, Democratic Republic of the Congo, children had no choice but to drink contam-inated water from the lake—and they were getting sick because of it. Waterborne diseases such as cholera put children at greater risk for malnutrition, but these illnesses are both preventable and treatable. Our team helps prevent cholera by working with communities on water chlorination, hygiene education, and water point rehabilitation.

One of the quickest ways to prevent cholera at the source is chlorination. When people come to collect water from the lake, we ensure the water is treated.

In addition to chlorination and edu-cation, our teams work hard to build and rehabilitate clean water points in communities in South Kivu province.

Having reliable water sources close to home cuts down on time spent collecting water from unsafe sources.

Our innovative, highly impactful nutrition programming in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was recognized at the 2014 CLASSY Awards, the largest social impact awards in the United States.

In Karamoja, Uganda, “akoro” means “hunger”—what this region of Uganda is known for, and what its residents struggle with every day. To combat the area’s chronic hunger problem, Action Against Hunger began a project with local farmers to grow cassava, a nutri-tious, drought-resistant crop.

Before he began harvesting cassava, Rajab Angolere and his

family were constantly hungry. This year, Rajab has harvested more than six tons of cassava so far—enough to sustain him through the two-month hunger gap that used to devastate his family. He’s also started selling cassava at the local market. With the money he earns, he’s expanding his farmland, buying household necessities, and sending his children to school.

In 2014, we helped over 140,000 people like Rajab with our programs in food security and livelihoods.

Action Against Hunger also responded to an influx of South Sudanese refugees into Uganda, specifically in Adjumani and Kiryandongo refugee settlement camps, drilling for water and

building latrines, showers, and hand washing points. We focused on nutrition, promoting infant and young child feeding programs and implementing community integrat-ed management of acute malnu-trition. We also supported health centers in treating moderate and severe acute malnutrition in the refugee sites.

We continued to work with partners to stem gender-based violence in 2014. Over 165 training sessions were delivered on gender-based violence, gender equality, and land and property rights for 12,723 women and 4,834 men. Across these programs, over sixty women’s groups were identified and trained to cope with gender-based violence in Amuru, Nwoya, and Otuke.

Kitchen gardens provide food and nutrition security in vulnerable communities like the Dadu district of Sindh province, Pakistan, where Rasheedan, pictured above, lives with her husband and children.

We provided Rasheedan and over 4,500 other women in Dadu with seeds, gardening tools, and train-ing on how to establish a garden, and shared how dietary diversity and good hygiene can prevent malnutrition.

Within two months of starting her garden, Rasheedan’s plants began bearing fruit—first tomatoes and onions, then okra. She soon pro-duced three months’ worth of vege-tables for her family. Before, nearly one-third of her family’s monthly earnings used to go towards buying vegetables, but now, her garden allows her to save that money and provides her with peace of mind. She said, “I feel confident that I know how to ensure availability of a variety of vegetables throughout the year in my own garden.”

Bacha Gul, pictured above, is a member of a village disaster management committee in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province, Pakistan.

“Every year we are severely hit by floods which result in the heavy loss of crops and livestock. Since there is no proper drain-age system in the village, water stands for several days, which increases the chances of Malaria and also blocks the different pathways in the village. Action Against Hunger is one of the only organizations which stepped in as the first relief providers to this affected community. The best thing they did is to establish an early warning system, with which we can evacuate in time.”

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”

In 2014, Action Against Hunger helped over 98,000 people like Bacha Gul with disaster response and management programs in Pakistan.

Action Against Hunger served vul-nerable populations in Cambodia from 1988-2007. The years between 1996 and 2005 saw a significant improvement, but there has been no improvement in the nutrition situation in the past ten years.

Although progress has been made in the past two decades econom-ically, socially, and medically, Cambodia remains one of the poorest countries in Asia and trails behind on human development indicators. The nutrition situa-tion in Cambodia is particularly alarming. Currently, 95 percent of children who suffer from severe acute malnutrition are not treated, and malnutrition accounts for over 30 percent of child deaths.

As a result, our team is working closely with the national government and other partners to re-establish programs in Cambodia. We will share updates on our progress in 2015.

RWANDA & BURUNDI Working among the displaced as Rwanda’s second war draws to a close, Action Against Hunger responds to the chaos unleashed when Burundi’s first Hutu president is assassinated in October of 1993, launching emergency programs as millions of Burundi refu-gees pour into Rwanda to escape fight-ing. The next year, genocide begins in April of 1994—a crisis in which 800,000 people are killed. Security conditions ultimately force Action Against Hunger and other humanitarian actors to leave the country.

KEY INNOVATION Action Against Hunger’s International Scientific Committee is launched February 10, 1994. A nutritionist in the group, Michael Golden, creates two revolutionary therapeutic milk formulas, F-75 and F-100, to treat severe acute malnutrition. F-100 is first field-tested by Action Against Hunger in 1994 in Rwanda. The sound scientific evidence of the resulting drop in mortality—from 25 to 5 percent—led the UN’s World Health Organization to recommend, in 1995, that Action Against Hunger’s pro-gram be implemented on a global scale.
