FreeRice is a non-profit website run by the United Nations World Food Program.
Our partner is the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard
University.
FreeRice has two goals:
1. Provide education to everyone for
free.
2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
This is made possible by the generosity of the sponsors who advertise on
this site.
Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a
poor country, improving your education can improve your life. It is a great
investment in yourself.
Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated
rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive.
Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide.
FreeRice has a custom database containing knowledge questions at varying
levels of difficulty. There are levels appropriate for beginners and levels that
will challenge the most scholarly professors. In between are levels suitable for
students of all ages, business people, homemakers, doctors, truck drivers,
retired people… everyone!
