Sometimes the amount we spend on a meal is enough to feed a child for up to three months. For just SR 2 you can share a meal with a child from Rohingya through ‘Share The Meal’ app. You can choose to pay for a week, months or even a year to make sure a child gets fed everyday with the help of The World Food Programme.

WFP is on the ground, distributing nutrient-rich, high-energy biscuits to refugees arriving as an emergency measure and then registering people to receive rice, vegetable oil and lentils over the next six months. According to ‘Share The Meal’ more than 580,000 people have received food to date. Mothers and children under five who are particularly vulnerable to malnutrition are given SuperCereal Plus, a fortified wheat-soya blend used to make a nutritious porridge.

More than half a million Rohingya people have fled Myanmar’s northern Rakhine State following an outbreak of violence in late August. They seek shelter and safety in the Bangladeshi border district of Cox’s Bazar. The area is now filled with makeshift tents.
