ShareTheMeal

ShareTheMeal is the official crowdfunding smartphone application of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), designed to fight global hunger through micro-donations. Launched globally in November 2015, the app allows users to provide a child with vital nutrition for a day with a single tap and a small donation (roughly $0.80). Since its inception, the app community has shared over 200 million meals to support some of WFP’s most critical operations in regions like Yemen, Syria, and South Sudan. The platform features "The Table," a monthly giving program that uses real-time beneficiary management data to pair donors with specific families, providing personalized updates on the impact of their help. Users can also create "Challenges" to encourage friends and family to join a collective fundraising goal. The app emphasizes transparency, reporting that approximately 62% of funds go directly to families, with the remainder used for fundraising, management, and payment fees. Recognized by both Apple and Google as a "Best App" for social impact, ShareTheMeal leverages smartphone technology to make charitable giving accessible to millions worldwide.
