World Food Programme Fighting Hunger Worldwide

Kafuti Mbambi fled Angola in 1966 and has been living in Mayukwayukwa ever since. She has developed severe health problems and can no longer work, so receives food support from WFP to feed the four orphans she looks after.

Mike Lubundo was one year old when he arrived in Mayukwayukwa. His family were given one hectare of land to farm and they grew soya beans, maize and kasava. However, Mike's disability hinders his ability to work and continue providing for himself. The World Food Programme supplies him with a monthly ration of maize, cooking oil, beans and salt. 

William Kasoka benefitted from WFP's food assistance when he was a new arrival at Mayukwayukwa Refugee Settlement. Now, over 30 years later, he has opened his own business in the settlement and is the proud owner of two general stores.
