Founded in 2003, Hungry for Life International (HFLI) aims to end needless suffering while providing opportunities to connect with Jesus Christ through worldwide compassion. HFLI partners with Christian groups, missionaries, and local church leaders in developing countries to implement its projects.
International projects represent Hungry for Life International’s programs. The charity works in 12 countries: Dominican Republic, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Haiti, Kenya, Malawi, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Uganda, and Ukraine. Small teams of HFLI members apply to lead projects that provide various forms of aid, such as housing or nutrition programs. The charity provides consultation and support to its members when designing team projects. Once a team has chosen a country and project to pursue, HFLI coordinates the travel and logistics of the trip. Hungry for Life International helps to monitor the project and publishes blog posts from teams on its website.
The charity reports that it helped complete two new homes in the Philippines and repaired a third home. It also reports that its feeding program in Dominican has helped take care of more than 2,500 malnourished children and pregnant women.
