Problem

925 million people will not get enough to eat this year – more than the populations of the United States, Canada and the European Union. WFP works to help prevent hunger in the future by running programs that use food as a means to build assets, spread knowledge and nurture stronger, more dynamic communities. This helps communities become more food secure. WFP has developed expertise in a range of areas to ensure the best solutions for the world's hungry.

The Gift

For just $13 you can fill 100 cups with beans, rice, or porridge and assist the World Food Program (WFP) to end hunger and malnutrition in one of the most impoverished areas of the world. One cup of beans, rice or porridge a day will greatly improve the health and life of a child or pregnant woman. Not only will your gift help save a life, but it will also shrink the number of chronically hungry people worldwide. WFP will fill the 100 cups with food through school meals and their Maternal/Child Health and Nutrition Program. School Meals provides primary school children with a daily meal, which not only fills their stomachs and keeps them focused, but also encourages their families to send them to school. The Maternal/Child Health and Nutrition Program aims to enhance the health of malnourished children and women by providing them with special nutritional support.
