	BREAKING OUT OF THE POVERTY TRAP
	Over 90 percent of the world's hungry are prisoners of poverty. They are too poor to buy enough food. They spend all their time and energy trying to survive. WFP's innovative food aid projects not only put food on the tables of the weakest and poorest: jobless mothers, school children, landless farmers and HIV orphans. They also help the hungry to secure food and an income by themselves, so they can break out of the poverty trap and build sustainable future.
	SCHOOL FEEDING
		WFP school meals encourage poor children to attend class and help them concentrate on their studies.
	THE FIGHT AGAINST HIV/AIDS
		As simple as it sounds, food is essential in the global fight against HIV and AIDS.
	FOOD FOR WORK
		WFP pays the hungry with food rations to build infrastructure and learn skills that will increase their food security.
	FOCUS ON WOMEN
		WFP believes that women are the first and fastest solution to reducing hunger and poverty.
