COLOMBO (News 1st); Michael Kors, through its Watch Hunger Stop campaign, has contributed USD 2.7 million to support the World Food Programme’s (WFP) Home-Grown School Feeding initiative in Sri Lanka.

This funding will significantly scale up the programme’s reach and impact across the island:

250,000 schoolchildren will now receive daily nutritious meals.

1,500 local farmers, the majority of whom are women, will be empowered through sustainable sourcing.

30 schools will benefit from upgraded, solar-powered kitchens.

The programme will expand to 10 districts, strengthening food security and education outcomes nationwide.

The initiative not only nourishes young minds but also strengthens local economies by sourcing food directly from smallholder farmers.

Watch Hunger Stop, Michael Kors' campaign in support of the World Food Programme (WFP), is dedicated to the urgent fight against hunger.

Watch Hunger Stop, established in 2013, raises funds and awareness to help achieve a world with zero hunger. The brand’s partner in the effort is the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), and funds go to support WFP’s school meals program. In 2015, Michael Kors was named a Global Ambassador Against Hunger for the United Nations World Food Programme; in 2016, he was awarded the McGovern-Dole Leadership Award by WFP USA for his dedicated efforts to highlight and alleviate the crisis of hunger.
