World Food Programme (WFP) (sh)




Organization established in 1961 by the United Nations to help alleviate world hunger.

The world's largest Food-aid organization (providing Food aid to some 75 million people annually), the WFP aims to assist the approximately 15% of the world's population that is hungry. Its Food-for-Life program aids victims of both natural and man-made disasters by collecting and transporting Food to crisis areas. Contributions of Commodities, cash, and Services (primarily shipping) help beneficiaries to maintain balanced Diets. Its Food-for-Growth programs are directed at vulnerable groups
including children, pregnant and nursing women, and the elderly
and its Food-for-Work program encourages self-reliance by providing Food in return for labour. Its headquarters are in Rome.
