Imagine.

Imagine a world without hunger.

There are 923 million undernourished people in the world today. Every six seconds, one child dies from hunger and related diseases. About 59 million primary school-aged children go to school hungry.

Yet if you saw Josette Sheeran, Executive Director of the World Food Programme on David Letterman, then you--like me--believe that a world without hungry children is possible.

93 cents of every dollar donated to World Food Programme goes directly to supplying food to the world's starving people; it costs only 25 cents a day to give a child a WFP school meal.

• WFP is the world's largest humanitarian agency
• In 2007, they provided 3.3 million tons of food for 86.1 million people
• This year WFP plans to feed around 90 million people in 80 countries
• At any moment WFP has 30 ships at sea, 70 aircraft in the sky and 5,000 trucks on the ground
• The agency relies entirely on voluntary contributions
• More than 90 percent of funding goes on food or delivery costs

Donate to WFP.
