homeless

Let’s help each other on these difficult days. IFIA urges all
its members to participate in this beautiful program.

Play with the World Food Program’s game and help the
homeless.
The United Nations World Food Programme is the
world’s largest humanitarian organization, saving lives in
emergencies and building a better future for people driven
into hunger by conflict and the impact of climate change.

How does Freerice work?

As you play Freerice and answer the questions right,
advertisements appear on your screen. When you see one
of these advertisements, you trigger a financial payment
to the World Food Programme (WFP) to support its work
saving and changing lives around the world.
In the game, these payments are represented via grains
of rice. The amount of money generated when you see an
advertisement can vary but is roughly equivalent to what
the World Food Programme spends on purchasing 10
grains of rice.

By playing, you are generating the money that pays for
this rice. This money is used for many types of assistance
— not just rice — depending on where needs are greatest.
Regardless of the type of assistance, you can be sure that
%100 of all funds generated on Freerice go to the World
