The UN World Food Programme on Monday pledged $253 million to fund a five-year plan to end hunger in Zimbabwe, which is emerging from a devastating drought that left more than 4 million people in need of food aid last year.
For the past 40 years, since its founding in 1976, the mission of World Hunger Education Service is to undertake programs, including Hunger Notes, that
Educate the general public and target groups about the extent and causes of hunger and malnutrition in the United States and the world
Advance comprehension which integrates ethical, religious, social, economic, political, and scientific perspectives on the world food problem
Facilitate communication and networking among those who are working for solutions
Promote individual and collective commitments to sustainable hunger solutions.
