For almost 40 years, this organization has been providing food, water, and training to over 20 million people in 45 countries.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has curated a list of organizations committed to providing resources and education to people suffering from malnutrition, making hunger the focus of an international conversation, and preventing the deaths of over one million children a year. On this list is Action Against Hunger (AAH), a global humanitarian group with a staff of about 8,000.
Highly rated by a venerable list of charity watchdogs, AAH spends an impressive 93 cents of every donated dollar directly on its field programs.
