Extremely inspired & blessed to have listened to His Holiness online today. Deeply moved by a huge admiration His Holiness shared for WFP. Stories from around world, from colleagues in the frontline gave me an extra courage to pursue this vocation with more hope and calling ๐

In 2025, WFP Bhutan supported RGoB setting strong foundation to realize goal of increasing economy by 10-fold by investing in most critical sector: #agriculture, #nutrition, & #emergencypreparedness.
Amina almost lost her child to malnutritionโa condition that should never be a death sentence.
We know how to treat it. We know how to prevent it.
Yet @WFP only has $ to reach 1 in 5 children in Kenya who need this critical support. When funds run short, children pay the price.
What gives hope in a time of relentless crises?
Anticipatory action. Community resilience. Collective problemโsolving.
