World Food Programme

World Vision has been partnering with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) for over 30 years and we are their largest non-governmental partner.

In 2025, funds from the 30-Hour Famine will also go towards supporting the WFP’s efforts to end hunger by:

  • Supporting pregnant and breastfeeding women, and children under five, with malnutrition treatment and nutrition education
  • Providing life-saving food and assistance to children and families affected by conflict, crises, violence, and climate-related disasters
  • Building climate-resilient and market-accessible farming communities, as well as post-disaster livelihood recovery

Together, we go beyond providing food assistance, working collaboratively to deliver holistic programmes that empower vulnerable communities to become self-reliant, both now and in the future.

The World Bank estimates that between 2021 and 2022, roughly 2.7 million additional Sri Lankans have fallen into poverty. According to the World Food Programme’s latest food security assessment of Sri Lanka in 2022, three in 10 households across the country face food insecurity.
