  • The World Food Programme (WFP) is the United Nations frontline agency assigned to combat global hunger. WFP is the largest humanitarian agency in the world. It provides, on average, food aid to 90 million people per year - 58 million of whom are children. WFP depends on voluntary donations from world governments, corporations and private donors to help the hungry. WFP also supports people in need become more self-sufficient in the long run, through initiatives such as food-for-work programmes and agricultural projects.
