Dear Friend,
Thank you for your 2014 support of World Food Program USA (WFP USA). Altogether, the WFP USA community was able to deliver hope to millions of people around the world with life-saving food assistance. And we couldn't have done any of it without you.
Today, we're sharing some of our biggest moments in 2014 and showing you the tremendous impact you've had in giving families, refugees and children the hope of a future without hunger. Here are some of the people you helped WFP reach in 2014:
The Syria crisis is WFP's largest and most complex challenge, stretching resources thin and forcing WFP to cut its food voucher assistance program to refugees in December. But, with the help of the American people, WFP was able to save the voucher program while continuing to support families displaced inside Syria.
One of the most effective ways to solve global hunger is also one of the simplest: a school meal. We were inspired to learn what a hunger-free future looks like for children in 27 countries who receive daily school meals from WFP, and you'll be moved by their artwork too.
When Typhoon Haiyan devastated the Philippines in November 2013, WFP was among the first organizations providing emergency relief. Over a year later, WFP remains in the Philippines, helping transition communities from recovery to resilience. Read our account on the past year from Praveen Agrawal, WFP's country director for the Philippines.
Right now the world is facing an unprecedented number of emergencies, and WFP USA supporters have helped provide emergency relief for families impacted by the Ebola outbreak and in the humanitarian disaster in the Central African Republic. While we still have a long way to go, we are making a difference in the lives of people who have lost everything. We will never give up hope.
We couldn't do any of this without you. Together we can make hunger history. Thank you!
Sincerely,
World Food Program USA
