Jul 14, 2007 I Went Hungry | DonateFood for Training programs help poor rural farmers build a future.
In the aftermath of complex crises and natural disasters, refugee and displaced populations must rebuild their lives; damage to food production and chronic malnutrition often persist for years. WFP’s Relief and Rehabilitation projects help communities rebuild assets and long-term food production resources while assisting with immediate food needs. Food for Work, Food for Training and Food for Education programs provide critical experience as well as daily food assistance for program participants. Consequently, participants are able to provide a meal for their families during challenging transition periods, and also learn how to rebuild their local infrastructure, community and personal assets to establish self-sufficiency and buffer against future disasters.

Friends of WFP does its best to send donations designated for a specific country’s relief and rehabilitation programs to that country, but this cannot be guaranteed. If we are unable to send donations to a particular country, they will be designated to the Greatest Need program area, which allows WFP to use assets where they are most needed at any given time.
