Poverty & basic needs

Share a meal for 80 cents

ShareTheMeal is the UN World Food Programme's donation app, letting anyone fund meals, school feeding, nutrition support and emergency food assistance for people in need, starting from as little as $0.80. The app shows which specific crisis or country your donation is currently supporting, updated as WFP's needs shift.

Our take

The lowest per-unit cost on this whole list — 80 cents literally funds one meal — which makes it an easy one to explain to kids or use as a simple, repeatable giving habit. The app also shows exactly which crisis your donation is currently funding, which keeps the giving a bit more concrete than a single fixed general fund would.

Where the money goes

From $0.80 per meal, funding school feeding, nutrition support and emergency food assistance through WFP field operations.
