You believe that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, including the right to food, health, work, and education. Your values represent respect for all humans, and you find joy in meeting new people and discovering new ideas. 

"The inherent nature of every person is creative, resourceful, self-reliant, responsible, and productive. We must not treat people living in conditions of hunger as beneficiaries, which can crush dignity, but rather as the key resource for ending hunger." - The Hunger Project

Human Dignity

You value balance, collaboration, and the universal similarities of all people. You believe in radical transformation for the society-wide change you envision for your community and world. 
"An essential part of ending hunger must be to cause society-wide change towards gender equality. Women bear the major responsibility for meeting basic needs, yet are systematically denied the resources, freedom of action and voice in decision-making to fulfill that responsibility." - The Hunger Project

Gender Equality

You are self-reliant and confident in your ability to lead others to promote the change you believe in. You believe that people and their abilities are extraordinary and that people have the power to change our destiny. 

"In the face of social suppression, focused and sustained action is required to awaken people to the possibility of self-reliance, to build confidence, and to organize communities to take charge of their development." - The Hunger Project

Empowerment

You believe that organization, and balance are the keys to success, and a component in accomplishing change. 

"Ending chronic hunger requires action that catalyzes large-scale systemic change. We must regularly step back — assess our impact within the evolving social/political/economic environment — and launch the highest leverage actions we can to meet this challenge." - The Hunger Project

Leverage

You are guided by your ideation for a more just world, you are highly introspective and find comfort knowing that all things are connected. 

"Our actions are shaped by, and affect, all other people and our natural environment. Hunger and poverty are not problems of one country or another but are global issues. We must solve them not as “donors and recipients” but as global citizens, working as coequal partners in a common front to end hunger." - The Hunger Project

Interconnectedness

You value harmony, and connection, and believe in a natural order of things. Your values reflect your ability to root for the topics and people you care about.

"Solutions to ending hunger must be sustainable locally, socially, economically and environmentally." - The Hunger Project

Sustainability

Your charisma and independence guide you in your decisions, you believe that the solution to a problem is often the most unapparent. You possess a unique ability to change people's mindsets from negativity to positivity and enthusiasm. 

"People’s self-reliance is suppressed by conditions such as corruption, armed conflict, racism, and the subjugation of women. These are all rooted in an age-old and nearly universal patriarchal mindset that must be transformed as part of a fundamental shift in the way society is organized." - The Hunger Project

Social Transformation

At your core you stand for a just and inclusive society, you value the little ideas as much as the big ones since you can envision the bigger picture. You believe that at the heart of everything is a mobilized community with a shared vision. 

"Hunger is inextricably linked to a nexus of issues including decent work, health, education, environmental sustainability, and social justice. Only in solving these together will any of them be solved on a sustainable basis." - The Hunger Project

Holistic Approach

You believe in the power of people as the ultimate catalyst of change, you value connection and collaboration. 

"Individual and community ownership of local development is critical. Actions are most successful if decisions are made close to the people. This requires effective national and local government working in partnership with the people." - The Hunger Project

Decentralization

You are a natural-born leader, you create leaders not followers. You value hardworking and collaborative people who share your sense of dedication. You possess the unique ability to share your vision with others to be unified in their shared sense of purpose. 

"Ending hunger requires a new kind of leadership: not top-down, authority-based leadership, but leadership that awakens people to their power — leadership “with” people rather than leadership “over” people." - The Hunger Project
