This year on World Food Day, WFP staff members stepped out of the office and into schools. From Rome to Washington D.C., students heard first-hand what it is like on the front lines of the fight against hunger. 

Bring Freerice 2.0 into Your Classroom!

There are 925 million people in the world who don’t have enough food – that means that 1 in every 7 people go to bed hungry.  And, hunger is still the #1 health risk in our world today, killing more people every year than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.

So what can you do about it?  More importantly, what can you as a teacher do about it?

Playing to Learn. Learning to Give.

Sixteen students decided to change the world. Their teachers decided they could do it. Find out how Freerice is not only changing the lives of those who receive food--it's transforming the lives of those who play.

Just in time for World Food Day on October 16th, WFP is launching an exciting new school campaign, an online forum, and a whole new version of everyone’s favourite: Freerice 2.0! And, we have created a lesson plan to help you teach about some of this year’s major hunger crises.
