"I am specifically thinking of places that address hunger and poverty in children and women." The key to addressing all kinds of issues for children, is to empower women: offer a woman education and skills training and you educate her whole family, offer a woman a way of making money and keeping hold of it, and you feed and clothe her whole family. I'd do some research into charities which support women's co-operatives in poverty stricken areas. An example of West African Women's Cooperatives and the kinds of simple things they need in order to keep helping themselves is described here: http://eraofcollaboration.com/2010/09/14/global-help-for-womens-cooperatives-in-south-africa/
