Plumpynut, a peanut-based paste, provides children suffering from the most serious form of acute malnutrition with all of the essential nutrients and calories needed to rebuild their strength and restore them to health. The success of therapeutic Ready-to-Use Foods (RUFs) in crisis situations has encouraged the humanitarian community to adapt this tool to the pre-emptive treatment of children threatened by severe acute malnutrition—before they reach the crisis stage.

In the Heart of the Congo, at the end of a terrible war, a handful of aid workers help refugees who have lost everything. They mobilize villagers to dig wells for clean water, train health workers, and nurse children with acute malnutrition back to health. They are confronted with threats of violence from roving militias, systemic corruption, and a legacy of colonial dependency. And there are times when it is very clear that these workers exist apart from those they aim to help, benefiting from services and luxuries of the modern world that are beyond the reach of the rural Congolese. In spite of this the Congolese and European aid workers struggle to encourage the will, and build the skills, necessary for self-sufficient future.

Heart of the Congo is a film about courage, hope, and perseverance.

Action Against Hunger was actively participating by organizing and implementing tsunami relief efforts in both Sri Lanka and Indonesia in 2004, delivering hundreds of metric tons of water-sanitation items, emergency food rations, oral re-hydration salts, and high-nutrition biscuits for beneficiaries. Latrines were dug, debris was cleared, wells were rehabilitated, and tents were provided for the displaced.
This is a PSA piece that was created pro-bono for the organization.

An Action Against Hunger staff member in Kenya, David Githiri, giving a brief presentation on how something as simple as a Bio-Sand filter can transform dirty and unhealthy water into clear and healthy water. A Bio-Sand filter is made with only cement, rocks, and sand. Assembled , this is a very practical way of providing clean water to areas that have limited water access.
