When earthquakes, war or extreme weather overturn people’s lives, WFP helps them stay in their homes, build infrastructure and get back on their feet.

Every two seconds a person is forced from their home due to persecution, conflict or natural disaster. WFP helps displaced families who have lost everything in the process.

School meals fuel success for students in the world's poorest classrooms, especially girls. In 2017, WFP reached 18.3 million children with its school feeding program.

Pregnant or nursing women, newborns and children under the age of two face an especially high risk of malnutrition. WFP provides them with the food and education they need to reach their full potential.

Half the world’s population lives on less than $5.50 a day. WFP’s cash assistance and food-for-work opportunities help communities get back on their feet by building basic infrastructure, markets and economies.

It’s a cruel irony that half the world’s hungry people are small-scale farmers. They simply lack basic modern resources to make the most of their crops. WFP helps them move from subsistence to surplus.
