Join us in wishing happy birthday to South Sudan, the world’s youngest country. Just over a year ago, over 99% of the people who live in what is now South Sudan voted to become an independent country. The young nation’s first year has been filled with tremendous progress, such as developing a constitution and establishing the foundations for a new government.
Many families, however, still struggle to get enough food. Nearly half of the people living in South Sudan today experience hunger, severely limiting their ability to work, learn, and develop their country. Here at WFP Students we’re taking the occasion to reflect on how solving hunger will help the young nation continue to build a stronger, more resilient – and peaceful future. We’ve pulled together seven answers to questions about why there is a hunger crisis in South Sudan and the road ahead to the nation’s hunger-free future.
A new partnership between Freerice and Kaplan Test Prep means studying for the SAT will make a big difference on test scores – and in the global fight against hunger.
In honour of International Women's Day we've created a new lesson plan to bring into your classroom.
In honour of World Freerice Week, we've developed two new classroom activities to help you bring Freerice into your classroom.
