Our vision: All the people of this world shall lead an independent life in dignity and justice – free of hunger and poverty.

Deutsche Welthungerhilfe (German Agro Action) was founded in 1962 as the national committee of the “Freedom from Hunger Campaign” set up by the United Nations’ Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO). Today, it’s one of Germany’s largest non-governmental aid organisations. Non-profit- making, non-denominational and politically independent, the organisation is run by a board of honorary members under the patronage of the President of the Federal Republic of Germany. Its work is funded by private donations and public grants.

What we want • Welthungerhilfe campaigns worldwide for human rights, sustained development, a guaranteed food supply and conservation of the environment. We regard our work to be successful if people improve their living conditions to such an extent that they can enjoy a secure livelihood without Annual Report 2006 outside aid. • As citizens of a wealthy country, we bear a responsibility for making sure we don’t only pay lip-service to the idea of solidarity with the poorest members of the human race. Deutsche Welthungerhilfe For this reason, together with partners from the world of politics, media and schools, we campaign for fairer cooperation with countries in the developing world. • We use the funds entrusted to us sparingly and effectively. German Agro Action The work of our staff is characterised by commitment, experience and competence.

How we work • We provide help from one set of hands by means of rapid humanitarian aid in acute crisis regions. Where hunger and poverty are chronic, we cooperate closely with local partners on long term projects. • As part of this process we provide support for the landless, for small-scale farmers, women, children and young people; and for people who need start-up aid in order to lead their lives in justice and dignity. • We fund our work from private donations and public grants. We have received the “seal of approval” from Germany’s Central Institute for Social Issues (DZI) for the cost-effective and transparent way we use our funds. • Levels of control such as internal auditing, evaluation or regular reports from projects ensure that funds are used correctly.

Conflict counselling is one of Philippe Dresrüsse’s main tasks (pictured above and below in the middle). He works for Welthungerhilfe in Sri Lanka, organising peace-promoting activities such as cricket tournaments in which Tamil, Muslim and Singhalese players take part. order to further the peace process. The representatives of the different religions have formed a committee which meets alternately in mosques, churches, Hindu and Bud- dhist temples and plans peace-promoting measures on a national and community level. We are also supporting the development of a peace centre, the so-called “Islander Centre”. Here, young people from all over Sri Lanka are trained in conflict resolution and democracy-promoting strategies. In future, peace-keeping initiatives will be discussed and developed here on different social levels. The third aim involves promoting conflict-sensitive and peace-oriented approaches to project work. Regular con-

These conflict analyses make it Photo: DWHH possible to recognise conflict situations and to success- fully implement preventive peacekeeping measures.

Global learning with all the senses Work in Germany Work As part of the “Welthungerhilfe Week” activities, 60 class- es from 20 schools in Munich spent a week looking at “global learning” in connection with such subjects as “the human right to food”, “the right to primary education for everyone” and “cultures of peoples”. Speakers and artists from the WorldStories campaign presented practical examples of Welthungerhilfe’s work. Munich’s learning partners in Welthungerhilfe’s WorldBreakfast project on the subject of the “human right to food” were environment and development organisations. They supplemented the speeches with pupil-oriented methods. Pupils attended a drama workshop, prepared breakfast from the project countries and analysed the film “We feed the world”. Others discussed what they themselves could do to cre- ate a more just world. Peruvian illustrator Juan Acevedo drew comics with pupils on the subject of children’s rights. The results were then presented at a joint “learning party” at the Künstlerhaus am Lenbachplatz. Photo: Bresser
