FreeRice Initiative
FreeRice is an app run by the United Nations under the initiative known as World Food Program (WFP). The app donates 5 grains of rice (or a mix of foods depending on customs and the nutritional needs of the people) for every question answered correctly.
We aim to donate 1 million grains of rice from this project to bring a change and end hunger.

There are 690 million people in the world who suffer from hunger which makes up 8.9% of the world population. Most suffer from undernourishment, acute levels of food insecurity and no access to sufficient food. By 2030, the number of people affected by hunger will exceed 890 million if current trends continue.
That means there would be a 1 in 10 chance for every person to be born to live a hungry life!

Malaysia is NOT part of the 1951 Refugee Convention or its protocol
Thus, refugees in Malaysia do not have fundamental rights such as:
- Access to education
- Access to healthcare
- Safe & lawful employment
- Equal protection of the law
- Freedom of movemnt
Think about what would do without a home to live in? Or access to a hospital if we're sick? That's what living as a refugee would be like every single day.
