Programs
School Feeding: School feeding involves providing meals in schools. Serving food at school not only fights hunger among the world’s poorest children, it also encourages them to go to school, providing them with an important key to a better future – an education. Food for Work/Food For Training: These programs provide food as compensation for those in work or training programs. In addition to fighting short-term hunger, such programs improve local infrastructures and promote self-reliance.
