You can just go to a hardware or DIY store and ask for some fibre plugs. Explain to them what it is for. Basically you just enlarge the holes slightly until the plug can be pushed or knocked in to the hole nice & snug. Then the screw goes in to the centre of the plug & expands it.

Its a bit awkward, this one as your cupboards will be made from a chipboard or MDF material that has little strength....anyway you can either move the hinge down a little and replace it, or more likely, glue some matchsticks into the hole thats left - use a PVA woodwork glue, pack the matchsticks in tight to fill the hole and be patient, giving the glue plenty of time to dry.
