The World Food Programme is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. In emergencies, they get food to where it is needed, saving the lives of victims of war, civil conflict and natural disasters. After the cause of an emergency has passed, they use food to help communities rebuild their shattered lives. WFP is part of the United Nations system and is voluntarily funded.
How To Help
The Feed Bag
The FEED bag was created by Lauren Bush to generate funds for WFP. Purchasing one FEED bag helps WFP feed a child in school for a whole year.
School feeding acts as a magnet, dramatically increasing enrollment, sometimes by as much as 100 percent, and also improves performance at school; children concentrate better on a full stomach.
Girls who go to school not only marry later, but have half as many children than illiterate women, and their children are healthier and better educated. School feeding is a simple but effective way to beat hunger and poverty and can help transform a child's life by providing the tools for self-reliance. The FEED Project is a partnership between the United Nations World Food Program and Lauren Bush, WFP Honorary Spokesperson.
