We bring life-saving relief in emergencies and use food assistance to build peace, stability and prosperity for people recovering from conflict, disasters and the impact of weather extremes.

We span a broad range of activities, bringing life-saving assistance in emergencies and supporting sustainable and resilient livelihoods to achieve a world with zero hunger.

We work in over 120 countries and territories, combining emergency assistance with long-term development while adapting our activities to the context and challenges of each location and its people.

There is a variety of ways in which people can support WFP’s mission to eliminate hunger, from making a donation to bringing your expertise to our work on the frontlines.

Based on national needs and priorities, WFP Sri Lanka has been engaging with the Government in the areas of social protection programme features, system architecture, knowledge and learning. Through support to government-led systems and programmes (such as Thriposha Company Limited, School Meal programmes, the Aswesuma social assistance and Samurdhi Empowerment and livelihood programmes), WFP works as an enabler to strengthen national social protection systems and capacities.
