There are more than 50,000 Colombian refugees in Ecuador, and 8,000 of them live in the Esmeraldas province. The Wailers tell the world about malnutrition and its terrible consequences; WFP aids vulnerable people like these Colombian refugees to improve their nutrition with the monthly distribution of food rations. Not having to worry about where their food will come from leaves extra time to look for a job, an in the long run helps them to adapt and integrate.

The Wailers and Duane Stephenson pride themselves on making a difference in the world a way of life. These reggae artists have inspired the Barrett family to share the same commitment. This reggae clan, consisting of seven siblings and father Aston, has turned fighting world hunger into a family affair.

Since 2008, the children have worked exceedingly hard to give hunger a voice. This past summer the young activists sold Africa T-shirts in Nantucket at markets. Each shirt they sold fed 40 kids. Not only do buyers get an awesome shirt, but they also learn about the famine that is currently taking place in the Horn of Africa.
