For each word you get right, 10 grains of rice are donated to hungry people
through the United Nations.
After yesterday, a totall of 1,712,371,750 grains was donated!
The rice is distributed by the United Nations World Food Program (WFP).
What else can I do to help end hunger?
Here are two key things you can do to help end hunger. Both are free and easy to do.
Add your name to the One Campaign,
where several million people have already joined together “as One”
to end hunger and extreme poverty.
If enough people join, dreams for a better world can be made into reality very quickly.
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.
Twenty-two countries have joined together to raise this money by each contributing 0.7% (less than 1%) of national income. Some of the countries have already met this goal.
Others are being a little slow, but this can be fixed.
