How does WFP help hungry people?
Providing food to hungry people is just one way WFP works. The agency also establishes and implements programs that combine vital nutritional assistance with job training, basic education for children, maternal health education for expectant mothers and treatment for HIV/AIDS patients. WFP also provides food assistance and logistical support during emergency situations, whether those are man-made or natural disasters. In regions that experience recurring and destructive natural disasters, WFP pre-positions food in targeted areas for quick and efficient distribution and works closely with those governments to improve their disaster preparedness programs and mitigation techniques.
