Unleashed Women
Be part of an awesome collective of women who want to change the world.
Women are hungry for change, join us
It’s 2023 and women like us, still bear the brunt of challenges, disasters, and conflict around the world. We still don’t have the same social status as men, and are often forced into marriage, experience violence or suffer high levels of child and maternal mortality. Alongside this, undernourishment passes from generation to generation, and if mothers-to-be are already undernourished, their children are often born underweight – reducing their physical and mental capacity well into adulthood, slashing their earning opportunities and increasing the risk of hunger. And so, the cycle continues. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Studies show that when women are empowered, all of society benefits. Their families are healthier, more children go to school, agricultural productivity improves and incomes increase. In short, communities become more resilient. This is true of women based here in the UK, as it is for the women I work with in low- and middle-income countries.
What is Unleashed Women?
Unleashed Women is a collective of women committed to be agents of change and play an active role in ending hunger and poverty by investing their time and money into our projects. Together, by raising our collective voice we are shifting the balance firmly of women around the world.
Through the work of Unleashed Women, women around the world are trained to become decision makers, to take their place among society’s strongest leaders and to become entrepreneurs on equal terms. We believe there is no limit to what a woman can achieve – that’s what being part of Unleashed Women is about.

How It Works
Three Steps To Unleashing Your Potential

STEP ONE: JOIN
Unleash your financial commitment and choose the level you feel able to invest each month or annually. Most of our members are investing £100 a month, but some are investing more. Some members give through their business or fundraise their membership fee – and we’ve introduced a £50 level to ensure we’re being inclusive to those unable to give the higher amount right now, but over time might feel more equipped to.

STEP TWO: BECOME
Once you’ve set up your monthly investment, you can begin your journey of becoming an Unleashed Woman. You will have opportunities to access the collective wisdom of the Unleashed Women community and share insights about how you are raising your impact. You will be able to network, make new friends with other female leaders and be inspired by guest speakers at our in person and virtual events.

STEP THREE: ACT
As an Unleashed Woman you’ll be given lots of opportunities to champion the community, raise awareness of the vital work we’re doing and recruit new members to ensure a thriving, sustainable community.
By taking on challenges and engaging your friends, family and colleagues with the incredible stories you’ve heard, you’ll help us collectively meet our annual £50,000 goal.
What you’ll be funding
With a thriving membership base, Unleashed Women is committed to funding women empowerment programmes and supporting girls through education and ending child marriage. Investments through Unleashed Women help fund The Hunger Project’s work, which is at the heart of the problem by building self-reliance at the grassroots level, empowering women as key change agents, and forging effective partnerships with the local government.
- A monthly investment of £100 could provide business and leadership training for a female entrepreneur living in a rural village in Malawi, allowing her to start an income generating social enterprise.
- A monthly investment of £300 could provide training and coaching for an elected female representative in India, allowing her to create more effective change in the communities which she serves.
- A monthly investment of £500 could support a woman a woman entrepreneur’s business initiative and pop-up stores for her business in a high commerce/tourism zone in Mexico.
The women and girls you will be helping
Adebar lives in Ethiopia, where there are currently 15 million child brides. These girls give birth long before their bodies have fully developed and live in households where the girls are fed last and given less, meaning they are malnourished, which affects the health of their baby. What’s more, if they give birth to a girl, again they are fed after boys and men in the same household. This is how the hunger cycle continues.
Through the programme Her Choice, The Hunger Project helped Adebar escape a marriage which was against her wishes, and her future’s now looking bright. Adebar explains – “Now I have a comprehensive understanding of child marriage, female genital mutilation and hurtful practices, because of the training program in the local school.”
Thanks to Her Choice programme, Adebar aims to become a Women’s Rights advocate by attending university and studying law. This is an amazing transformation made possible thanks to supporters like you. Thriving girls who turn into ambitious women and inspiring mothers to their children is the only cycle we want to see.


Florencia is one of our partners living in the community of Paxquid, Mexico. She is one of more than 11,000 indigenous women with whom we work in the country, empowering them with tools to build their own cooperatives and advance their political rights. Florencia explains how The Hunger Project has turned her life around – “Before The Hunger Project, my vision was obscured. I thought I was worthless and that there was nothing else in the future for me. But now my life has changed. I realise that I am a worthy person, I consider myself proudly indigenous and I know that I am worth a lot.”
Florencia is a source of inspiration for all of her community. She has participated in The Hunger Project’s Vision, Commitment and Action workshops (VCA), a village level workshop at which she learnt to develop and define the collective vision of her community. Since 2013, she has taken part in several training workshops, and has developed her organic garden. She is currently a catalyst in her community, energising activities that ensure the progress of community development towards self-reliance and empowerment.
