In my work with @WFP here in #Rwanda, I’m often reminded that food alone isn’t enough. Clean water & good hygiene are just as vital to keep children healthy. That’s why we pair school meals with #water, sanitation & hygiene support, helping kids stay strong & build their future.

Seeing how unpredictable seasons have been affecting harvests & putting #foodsecurity at risk, is a clear reminder of why #resilience matters. At @WFP, we’re working with farmers to strengthen resilience thru #climate-smart agriculture & practical support that helps them adapt.

Every time food prices rise, I see its impact on families here in #Rwanda. No parent should have to choose between feeding their children or paying for other essentials. That’s why at @WFP, we focus on supporting #farmers to grow more, earn more & keep food accessible for all.

🙏Thanks to @LUinKigali for visiting Mahama camp to observe how their recent #humanitarian contribution benefits newly arriving asylum seekers, and see how WFP & partners work to improve refugee livelihoods & self-reliance through income generating activities like fish farming.🐟

Seeing Tuyisenge’s joy because she’s now able to grow her own food with @WFP’s support, is truly inspiring. With continued support, she and more than 115,000 other #refugees still receiving WFP food assistance can move beyond aid.

In #Rwanda, 120,000+ refugees rely on @WFP for their daily meals. But funding gaps have led to reduced food rations. Less food forces #refugees to make heartbreaking choices, such as selling assets, pulling children from school, or returning home despite risks. #WorldRefugeeDay

With few opportunities to work or return home, food assistance is a vital safety net for #refugees as they try to rebuild their lives. In #Rwanda, limited funding has forced @WFP to cut food rations for over 115,000 refugees like Esperance by up to 75%.
