“It is difficult to imagine two worlds that are further apart – the high-end culinary world and rural African farmers,” said WFP Director of Public Policy Strategy, Nancy Roman. “But by coming together, the global community of foodies can make a real difference to poor people who struggle daily with hunger and survival.”
The funds raised in this campaign will go towards supporting WFP’s work in the tiny southern African kingdom of Lesotho. WFP has been helping rural communities in Lesotho by purchasing surplus grain from small-scale farmers who might otherwise struggle to sell their produce.
The grain bought by WFP is then used in programmes including those that supply school lunches to children in Lesotho – meals which provide a chance for a better start in life to millions of children around the world.
