From the family's website:

Through Hannah’s Lunchbox, (video about this here from Today Show)we are selling our house in Atlanta, moving to one half the size (and price) and investing the difference in The Hunger Project (you can read more about this terrific organization here). We believe we can make a significant difference in the lives of thousands of Africans who are eager to enhance their futures by joining their hard work with our resources. The Hunger Project, more than any other organization we met with, believes in the human spirit. They see in Africans creativity and capability. And The Hunger Project’s model is proven and replicable, in other words ready to help empower people worldwide to move out of poverty.
