The amount of money generated when you see an ad can vary, but overall, money raised on Freerice each day from every right answer is roughly equivalent to what the UN World Food Programme spends to purchase 5 grains of rice.
But regardless of the type of assistance, you can be sure that 100% of all funds generated on Freerice go to the World Food Programme, and 93.5% of every payment received by the World Food Programme goes directly to helping children and their families.
With dozens of categories — from English vocabulary to famous paintings — you can quiz yourself on your favourite subject, and generate money to support the World Food Programme at the same time.

With dozens of categories — from English vocabulary to famous paintings — you can quiz yourself on your favourite subject, and generate money to support the World Food Programme at the same time. Here's how it works: as you play this app and answer questions right, ads appear on your screen. When you see one of these ads (if it is a commercial ad and you are eligible to see it), you trigger a financial payment to the UN World Food Programme (WFP) to support its work saving and changing lives around the world. In the game, these payments are represented via grains of rice.

By playing, you are generating the money that pays for this rice. This money is used for many types of assistance — not just rice — depending on where needs are greatest. But regardless of the type of assistance, you can be sure that 100% of all funds generated on this app go to the World Food Programme, and 93.5% of every payment received by the World Food Programme goes directly to helping children and their families. this app does not earn or keep any money it raises.

Great app, greater cause
Have fond memories from using this in school! I use to feel so proud of myself for learning new words and helping contribute to a cause. I was very pleased to find that now they have an app!! The app is great! straight forward, easy to follow and very intuitive. Great vocabulary builder with different levels of difficulty, makes for a great way to pass the time and learn some new words. And it feels good to know you’re helping work towards something, however small it may be.

App Improvements
First let me say I love the app. It's by the far the best way to build a vocabulary and do something positive for the world at the same time. I would love if the app somehow recorded what words I got wrong so I can go back and look them up. This would be a nice feature since when I'm on a streak the last thing I want to do is open another app to look up the word I just got wrong. This way, I continue and look up the words after. Cheers!

Wonderful idea but very slow
I was stoked that the website had an app but every time I select an answer it takes 30 seconds to process. I love the idea behind the app but it’s way too slow. Once this problem is fixed it’ll definitely be a 5 star app. Update: the speed problem was fixed and it’s so great. Definitely recommend to anyone interested in doing a good deed while learning!
