The world’s first app against global hunger.
ShareTheMeal is an initiative of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). WFP is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger. Each year, WFP reaches 80 million people with food assistance in around 80 countries. WFP is 100% voluntarily funded, so every donation counts. WFP’s administrative costs are among the lowest in the non-profit sector – with 90% of donations going directly to WFP operations that are building a world with zero hunger.
Why hunger?
There are 821 million undernourished people in the world today. That means one in nine people do not get enough food to lead an active and healthy life. In fact, hunger and malnutrition are the number one risk to health worldwide — greater than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. The good news is that hunger is entirely solvable. And it costs just US$ 0.50 to feed one child for a day.
Since the global launch in November 2015, over 25 million meals have been shared by more than 1 million users worldwide. ShareTheMeal was awarded Google Play's Social Impact Award in 2017, as well as a SXSW Award and a GSMA award at the Mobile World Congress. ShareTheMeal is often mentioned by many of the major media outlets including CNN, Al Jazeera and The Guardian.
