World Food Programme Fighting Hunger Worldwide

In partnership with the Government of Benin, WFP provides food assistance to children enrolled in public primary schools through its school meals programme, which operates in 6 of the 12 regions in the country, covering 364 schools and more than 100,000 students. In 2010 and 2011, WFP assisted vulnerable populations affected by the 2010 floods to improve their nutritional status and enhance the resilience of local communities.
