The humanitarian response is underfunded and struggling to keep pace with growing needs. In 2024, only 47% of required food assistance funding was met, leaving millions without adequate nutrition. @WorldVision is working for a world without hunger - #Enough

🎙️ Carmen Burbano, Director of School Meals and Social Protection Service, @WFP and Director of the @SchoolMeals_ Coalition Secretariat:

"In today's fragmented world, #SchoolMeals provide a rare, unifying priority for 98 countries, including leaders like President @EmmanuelMacron, President Lula, and President @WilliamsRuto. This coalition drives multisectoral collaboration, ensuring programmes span agriculture, education, and health.

These programmes now reach over 480 million children globally. This is a powerful policy lever, influencing food procurement and promoting sustainable development through leveraging diverse partnerships, uniting UN agencies, civil society, and NGOs.”

🎙️ Amanda Rives Argeñal, Senior Director, External Engagement and Resource Development, Disaster Management, @WorldVisionUN:

"#SchoolMeals are the biggest social safety net, crucial in our world of conflict & economic turmoil, especially for the most vulnerable children. Despite price shocks and rising hunger, these programmes remain a critical lifeline, ensuring health, nutrition, and education.

In fragile places like Sudan and Haiti, they enable children to keep learning. Thousands of CSOs and NGOs support the #SchoolMeals Coalition. We must bridge gaps and ensure every child has access to nutritious meals."
