“Help us go the last mile to solve the world’s hunger problems” — Kate Hudson, WFP Goodwill Ambassador
Kate is raising money to help Yemen. With nearly 16M people on the brink of starvation, Yemen is facing the world’s worst hunger emergency. For each of the 8,868 miles between Kate and Yemen, she’ll be raising $1. That’s $8,868 dollars, and every dollar buys two meals, so that’s 17,736 meals for hungry people! Will you help Kate reach her goal?
