In emergencies, we get food to where it is needed, saving the lives of victims of war, civil conflict and natural disasters. After the cause of an emergency has passed, we use food to help communities rebuild their shattered lives. WFP is part of the United Nations system and is voluntarily funded. Born in 1962, WFP pursues a vision of the world in which every man, woman and child has access at all times to the food needed for an active and healthy life. We work towards that vision with our sister UN agencies in Rome — the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) — as well as other government, UN and NGO partners. In 2010 we aimed to reach more than 90 million people with food assistance in 73 countries.
