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. 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.

In 2024, funds will also go towards supporting the WFP’s efforts to end hunger and address its root causes. This includes:

  • Preventing and treating malnutrition, improving overall nutrition for mothers and children, as well as providing food to the most vulnerable groups (children under five, and pregnant and breastfeeding women)
  • Helping farmers to be resilient to climate shocks (like droughts) and access more economic opportunities, as well as rebuilding and restoring people’s livelihoods after disasters

In Malaysia

This year’s local beneficiary is World Vision’s Malaysia Assistance Fund. Funds raised will support:
  • Health and nutrition, education, livelihood, child protection, and water, sanitation and hygiene projects in Mukim Tulid and Tatalaan, Sabah
  • One Goal Malaysia’s Eat Right to Play Right programme which addresses child malnutrition through sports (badminton) among urban poor communities in the Klang Valley 

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.
