Who do we help?
Victims of natural disasters like the Mozambique floods in 2000 or Hurricane Mitch, which affected one million people in Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatamala in October 1998.
Displaced People - both refugees and internally displaced persons to leave towns and villages in places like Kosovo and Sierra Leone.
The world’s hungry poor, trapped in a twilight zone between poverty and malnutrition.
WFP also believes that women are the first solution to hunger and poverty. Women not only cook food. They sow, reap and harvest it. Yet, in many developing countries, they eat last and least.
Where?
WFP is the world’s largest international food aid organisation combating hunger in underdeveloped nations with severe food shortages. The frontline stretches from sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East to Latin America and Asia & the Pacific.
How do we fight hunger?
Rescue: WFP stands on a permanent state of alert, ready to mobilise food aid for delivery to natural and man-made disaster areas.
Rapid Reaction: WFP’s rapid response team draws-up contingency plans designed to move food and humanitarian aid fast into disaster areas.
