How do I start playing FreeRice?
In the middle of the FreeRice home page you will see a question like:

To play the game, click on the definition that you think is correct. If you get it right, FreeRice donates 10 grains of rice to help end hunger. You then move on to the next question. You can play as long as you want and donate as much rice as you like. When you are finished, you do not have to do anything. Your donation has already been registered.
Does FreeRice make any money from doing this?
FreeRice does not make any money from this. FreeRice is a website committed to the cause of ending hunger around the world. It is run entirely for free and at no profit. All money (100%) raised by the site goes to the UN World Food Programme to help feed the hungry.
What is the history of FreeRice?
FreeRice was founded in October 2007 by John Breen. In March 2009 Mr. Breen donated the site to the UN World Food Programme. In making the donation, Mr. Breen expressed his hopes that FreeRice will be able to grow over the coming years, helping to feed and educate as many people as possible throughout the world.
In what countries does the UN World Food Programme distribute the rice?
The UN World Food Programme works around the globe and FreeRice donations are made with no restrictions. This freedom of use allows them to apply the donations to countries that need it most, often those that don't make the headlines in the news, yet where chronic hunger continues unchecked.
Often World Food Programme is able to purchase the rice in the very countries where the beneficiaries are located, cutting down on the transport time to reach the hungry and helping to stimulate local economies at the same time.
Here are some examples of where FreeRice rice has been distributed:
•In Bangladesh, to feed 27,000 refugees from Myanmar for two weeks. Watch FreeRice being distributed in Bangladesh.
•In Cambodia, to provide take-home rations of four kilograms of rice for two months to 13,500 pregnant and nursing women.
•In Uganda, to feed 66,000 school children for a week.
•In Nepal, to feed over 108,000 Bhutanese refugees for three days.
•In Bhutan, to feed 41,000 children for 8 days.
•In Myanmar, to feed 750,000 cyclone affected people for 3 days.
