About Freerice.com
Freerice is a non-profit website that is owned by and supports the United Nations World Food Programme.
Freerice has two goals:
Provide education to everyone for free.
Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
This is made possible by the generosity of the sponsors who advertise on this site.
Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your education can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.
Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide.
For each question answered correctly, 10 grains of rice are donated through the World Food Programme to help end hunger.
