is a charity through the United Nations helping to end world hunger. Free Rice is a game, and for each word you get right, 20 grains of rice is donated! Just think if you play for an hour, you can make a difference. It's a fun game, so please, try it! And tell everyone about it!
FreeRice is a sister site of the world poverty site, Poverty.com.
FreeRice has two goals:
Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
This is made possible by the sponsors who advertise on this site.
The rice is paid for by the advertisers whose names you see on the bottom of your vocabulary screen. This is regular advertising for these companies, but it is also something more. Through their advertising at FreeRice, these companies (like Office Depot, Liz Claiborne, Reader's Digest, Macy's, etc.) support both learning (free vocabulary for everyone) and reducing hunger (free rice for the hungry)
