The World Food Programme (WFP) is the United Nations frontline agency in the fight against global hunger. In 2003, WFP fed 104 million people in 81 countries, including most of the world's refugees and internally displaced people.

There is enough food in the world today for every man, woman and child to lead healthy and productive lives. And yet, hunger afflicts one out of every seven people on earth.

WFP's vision is a world in which everyone has access at all times to the nourishment they need for a full-life. It believes that the issue of hunger belongs at the top of the international agenda.

Since it was set-up in 1963, the Rome-based organisation has invested US$32.6 billion and more than 44 million metric tonnes of food to combat hunger, promote economic and social development and provide relief assistance in emergencies throughout the world.

The frontline in the battle against hunger runs from sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East to Latin America and Asia. Here, WFP food aid reaches the world's poorest nations as:

Food-for-Life: in humanitarian crises, food is often the first emergency. WFP provides fast, efficient, life-sustaining relief to millions of people who are the victims of the ever rising number of natural or man-made disasters.

Food-for-a-new Beginning: once WFP has tended to the immediate food concerns of victims of emergencies, it turns its attention to helping rebuild their lives and communities. The agency's Food for Work projects pay the hungry with food aid to build infrastructure and learn new skills that lay the foundations for a better tomorrow.

Food-for-Education: for nearly 40 years, WFP has provided free school lunches as an incentive for the children of poor families to go to school. In 2003, the agency's school feeding programme helped over 15 million children in 67 countries.

Food-for-Women: experience shows that in the hands of women, food aid is more likely to reach its target. WFP believes that women are the first and fastest solution to reducing hunger and poverty.

Food-for-HIV/AIDS: WFP uses food aid to soften the blow of HIV and AIDS. The agency distributes its rations to people living with HIV and AIDS, so they can keep providing for their families for longer and have time to transfer vital knowledge and skills to the growing number of AIDS orphans -- the next generation of food providers in developing countries. WFP also incorporates HIV prevention and AIDS awareness campaigns into its food distributions.

WFP relies entirely on voluntary contributions to finance its humanitarian and development projects. Donations are made either as cash, food such as flour, beans, oil, salt and sugar, or the basic items necessary to grow, store and cook food - kitchen utensils, agricultural tools, warehouses.
