The World Food Programme (WFP) is a special part of the United Nations. It helps people around the world get enough food. It is the biggest group that gives food aid to people in need.
The WFP was started in 1961 by the Food and Agriculture Organization. Its main goal is to end hunger and make sure everyone has food to eat.
What the WFP Does
The World Food Programme helps millions of people every year. They give food to people who cannot grow or buy enough for themselves and their families. This often happens in places where there are wars, natural disasters, or poverty.
Helping People in Need
The WFP works in many countries. They have their main office in Rome, Italy. They also have over 80 offices in different countries. From these places, they plan how to get food to people who need it most.
In 2020, the World Food Programme won the Nobel Peace Prize. This award recognized their important work in fighting hunger and helping to create peace.
