Free Rice
The United Nations estimates that the cost to end world hunger completely, along with diseases related to hunger and poverty, is about $195 billion a year.
When the problem is so big, it can feel like you’ll never be able to make a difference. Even if you rallied all of your friends, how could you possibly make a dent in such an issue? And it’s a strong bet that you don’t just have $195 billion lying around to chip in.
All you need, really, is a few mouse clicks.
Free Rice is a site that quizzes you on words SAT-style. For every word you get correct, they’ll donate 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program. The rice is paid for by the site’s advertisers and the game automatically adjusts the vocabulary level based on what you get right and wrong to keep it from being too easy or too challenging.
Just a few correct answers a day can help feed a hungry family.
