FreeRice.com is an interactive vocabulary game in which players donate grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Progamme (WFP) every time a question is answered correctly. Donations are paid for by the advertisements that appear on the players screen. The amount of money generated by each advertisement can vary, but is roughly equivalent to the cost of 10 grains of rice. This money is used for many types of assistance — not just rice — depending on where needs are greatest. Regardless of the type of assistance, you can be sure that 100% of all funds generated on FreeRice go to the World Food Programme.
