Transforming data into daily impact in Davi Zogo. 🌾

Alexis and his wife, Constantine, are showing how training, access to information, and agricultural innovation can turn a young farmer into a true agent of change.

Through their participation in the Youth for Resilient Communities (Y4CR) project, implemented by The Hunger Project-Benin , Alexis has mastered techniques to preserve soil fertility and introduced soil-enriching crops. By leveraging localized weather alerts from IGNITIA, a weather intelligence platform for climate resilience, he plans his farming activities with precision and shares his knowledge as a trusted resource in his village.

Alexis and Constantine prove that when knowledge and innovation lead the way, resilience naturally follows.

Lights of hope shine in Xadani ✨

In Santa María Xadani, Mexico, early marriage was long seen as an unshakeable tradition. But youth advocates Abril, Tonantzin, Selene, and Erandi dared to envision a different path forward.

Through Ellas Deciden, supported by The Hunger Project-Mexico, they joined "purple circles" to question rigid expectations and build collective trust. Supported by their mothers, their courage inspired their peers, growing into two circles empowering 40 girls today.

Where hope was hard to see, they sowed it—leading a purple revolution that is transforming their realities and communities for younger girls. 💜

Women leaders in panchayats, or village councils, in India are playing a pivotal role in strengthening Mothers' Committees. They are transforming these committees into active platforms for community participation.

By facilitating regular meetings, encouraging dialogue between caregivers and frontline workers, these leaders help monitor local services. Their work ensures that anganwadis, rural childcare and mother care centers, are more attentive to the nutritional needs of pregnant women, young children, and the larger community.

Good nutrition requires the support of responsive institutional mechanisms. These committees act as a crucial bridge, increasing awareness to inform women's active participation. Together, in partnership with The Hunger Project-India, they help ensure quality service delivery in anganwadis across Madhya Pradesh, India.

Service that speaks through action.💫

Through his participation in the Youth Entrepreneurship and Agribusiness Program , Joel has built nearly five acres of oil palm—establishing a sustainable foundation for his family while showing his peers what is possible.

By sharing his time, knowledge, and practical experience without expecting anything in return, Joel is cultivating a stronger future for his entire community.

In Bulamagi Village, Uganda, maternal weakness was long endured in silence due to misinformation and local myths.

As Agnes Babirye shares, “Before, many women here were struggling in silence.”

The turning point came when community-led discussions directly addressed these barriers, replacing fear with practical health education and increased access to micronutrient supplements.

🔹 Behavior Shift: Daily micronutrient supplements replaced harmful practices like soil consumption.
🔹 Health Outcomes: Severe pregnancy weakness is no longer common, leading to healthier mothers and newborns.
🔹 Local Leadership: Open dialogue led by local women created lasting, community-driven health habits.

When women are equipped with knowledge and resources, they transform the health of their entire community.

Communities are strongest when young people have a seat at the table.

Did you know:
🔹 The world is home to nearly 1.3 billion young people aged 15 to 24, making it the largest generation of youth to date.
🔹 By 2050, 69% of the world's youth will be living in low- and lower-middle-income countries, compared to 59% in 2025.

This International Youth Day, we recognize the creativity, leadership and determination of youth who are driving change where it matters most. This cohort could be the generation to end hunger for good—it’s up to us to ensure that they know they can do it.

Young people aren’t waiting for the future. They’re helping build it.

Across our movement, youth are strengthening local food systems in Benin, advancing gender equality in India and creating opportunities that last for generations in Mexico. Together, young people are showing that regardless of where they live, they are building stronger communities and helping create a world without hunger.🌏

At The Hunger Project, what we do, at our best, is create the space for a different possibility. We don’t hand young people a plan. We support them to see that they are allowed to write one.

This International Youth Day, we celebrate the leadership and imagination of young people shaping fairer, more sustainable and food-secure futures in their communities.

How are you celebrating the young leaders in your life today?
