After 40 years of hunger relief efforts in Bhutan, the World Food Programme (WFP) is preparing to fully transition its School Feeding Program to that country’s government in 2018, a shift made possible in part by support from Yum! Australia’s World Hunger Relief program.
Yum! has been a key supporter of the WFP in Bhutan since 2010, donating more than one million dollars to feed children in over 200 schools. This crucial funding has helped facilitate a partnership between WFP and the Royal Government of Bhutan and ultimately enabled the organization to empower leaders to operate school feeding efforts independently.
