World Hunger: A Billion for a Billion

There are a billion online users today (including you) who can help the billion hungry people. You can make a long-lasting difference in someone's life.


World Food Programme - http://www.wfp.org/1billion

Help end child hunger

Please help today and Fill the Cup! https://www.wfp.org/donate/1billion

When you “fill the cup,” it not only helps to feed a child - it also fills their mind and feeds their future. The Red Cup is a symbol that simultaneously defines the challenges facing WFP and the struggle for survival that is a daily concern for those living on the edge of poverty. An empty cup symbolizes hunger, malnutrition & often disease, hungry families, children out of school, and weakened communities. A full cup represents health, education, hope, productive families, and strong communities.
