Together, with your support, we're providing monthly food rations and meals in schools, feeding malnourished children and teaching families how to cook nutritious meals. We're empowering families by providing cash so they can buy their own food.

Elizabeth and her children now eat two meals a day
Thanks to the compassion of generous kiwis like you, Elizabeth and her children no longer face crippling hunger. "I receive cereals, pulses and other supplies for my children. We also receive cash every month for milling. My children and I can eat at least two meals a day with porridge for breakfast." Like every mum, Elizabeth is desperate to see her children healthy. "As long as my children have food to eat every day, I have no worries," she says.
The transforming power of high energy "wonder" biscuits
When Manero and her three little children arrived at the refugee camp in Uganda, they were at the edge of starvation. They had spent seven gruelling days on the road, fleeing the violence in South Sudan. When they reached the World Vision desk, they each received two packs of World Food Programme high energy biscuits. The transformation was immediate. The children's faces began to ease, and they quickly started to regain a sense of wellbeing.
