Unilever calls on schools to help eradicate hunger
Unilever Food Solutions (UFS) is calling on UK schools to help support the World Food Programme (WFP) and its school meals programmes around the world.
Since 2012 UFS, with help from the school meals industry, has been supporting and raising money for WFP’s school meals programme in Indonesia.
The school meal programme in Indonesia is now being transitioned to a government programme and now UFS will focus its support this year to WFP’s programme in Kenya. Funds will help provide a daily school meal to some 790,000 school children who benefit from WFP’s home-grown school meals programme.
James Allred, channel marketing manager, UFS said: “The support we’ve had from schools to support our partnership with the World Food Programme over the last three years has been phenomenal. Their efforts have already had an enormous impact on some of Indonesia’s poorest children.
“We’re proud to have been part of this story. That’s why we’re continuing our support of WFP this year. Once again, the support of schools here in the UK will be crucial to the success of the project.”
Unilever is calling on schools to get in contact with their Unilever Food Solutions account manager to get involved.
