World Food Programme

The World Food Programme is the world's largest humanitarian organisation fighting hunger worldwide. The UN food agency expects to deliver food assistance to 90 million people in 70 countries in 2010. As a result of her work to alleviate hunger, Princess Haya was asked to become a Goodwill Ambassador for the WFP in 2007. Although she gave up that position, when she became a UN Messenger of Peace in 2007 she continues to work closely with WFP. At the request of WFP, she personally led a relief mission to Haiti 10 days after the devastating earthquake in January 2010. The mission delivered more 90 metric tonnes of food, hospital tents, water sanitation equipment and other assistance. She also worked closely with WFP on her 2010 visit to Kenya to draw attention to growing food shortages in the Horn of Africa. www.wfp.org/
