Some people don’t just do humanitarian work, they live it.
Meet Shane from our Communications Unit, this week’s #YELP spotlight.
The first to arrive when the task is toughest and the last to leave, making sure every detail is done and every mission is complete.
Even when circumstances are tough, when needs outpace resources and the road ahead is uncertain, humanitarians show up.
Because in #Zimbabwe, we know what it means to stand with communities.
We show up. We keep going. We fight hunger.
Happy #WorldHumanitarianDay.
It's #WorldHumanitarianDay.
Behind every humanitarian response are thousands of people working together to make it happen, from drivers, pilots and warehouse teams to engineers, nutrition specialists and emergency responders.
Today, and every day, we honour them and their commitment to serving others. 💙
No place is too difficult to reach.
That's the mindset driving Shiella, who supports the Supply Chain Unit.
A logistician should always have solutions at their fingertips. Like @WFP works to overcome challenges and ensure support reaches even the hardest to reach communities.
Today is #InternationalYouthDay.
There are more young people on the planet today than at any other point in human history.
Young people are already leading the way as organizers and innovators.
But to go further, they need access to the skills that will shape the future.
Meet Leo, one of the passionate professionals behind #YELP.
An agronomist by profession and a farmer by birth, Whether he's in the field providing hands on support or online sharing advice and solutions, his commitment never stops.

Meet Innocent, the first to feature in our Meet the #YELP Team series.
As part of our Human Resources unit, he’s a strong advocate for youth inclusion, believing that young people should be at the heart of everything @WFP does.
Unemployment is one of the challenges facing young people in #Zimbabwe. But youth are not just seeking solutions, they are driving them.
Through @WFP’s #YELP, young people are gaining opportunities to lead, innovate and unlock potential.
The future is here. The future is youth.
