Everyday, we are throwing food away just because we are unable to finish it. That is where we have to keep in mind that not everyone is as fortunate as we are. All over the corners of the earth, there are people who eat barely anything at all everyday, relying twigs and grass to survive. These people have no choice but to live on the things that are possibly harmful to a human body.
UN (United Nations) have started a program that helps in the ending of world hunger. The UNWFP is the world’s largest food assistance agency, working with over 3,000 other organizations in over 75 countries. In addition to providing food, WFP helps hungry people to become self-reliant so that they escape hunger for good. Wherever possible, WFP buys food locally to support local farmers and the local community.
The UN World Food Program works around the globe and FreeRice donations are made with no restrictions. This freedom of use allows WFP to apply the donations to countries that need it most, often those that don’t make the headlines in the news, yet where chronic hunger continues unchecked. Often WFP is able to purchase the rice in the very countries where the beneficiaries are located, cutting down on the transport time to reach the hungry and helping to stimulate local economies at the same time. Bangladesh, Cambodia, Uganda, Nepal and Myanmar are just 5 of the countries that the UNWFP are reaching out to.
The program, named FreeRice donations (As shown above), is basically a simple word game that tests one’s vocabulary. For every answer that is given correctly, you would donate 20 grains of rice to the people who are suffering starvation.
