Ever felt like donating money or food to the poor? If you do then here’s your chance to make it happen by only spending your time on a website called FreeRice.

FreeRice is unique in it’s own way. All you have to do is log on to the website, get the correct answer for the given question. Each correct answer donates 20 grains of rice to the poor through the UN World Food program.

While answering these questions you get to learn new vocabulary, formulate your ideas better,comprehend of what you read, get better grades in school and perform better at job interviews and conferences.

You can choose your topic from 5 different subjects including Art, Chemistry, English, Geography and Math. You can also learn new words by answering these questions in Spanish, Italian, French and German language.

The only thing people wonder about is “who pays for the donated rice”. According to the website the rice is paid for by the sponsors whose names you see on the bottom of your screen when you enter a correct answer. These sponsors support both learning and reducing hunger.

Following are some of the few places where FreeRice Rice has been donated

  • In Bangladesh, to feed 27,000 refugees from Myanmar for two weeks. Please click here to watch FreeRice being distributed in Bangladesh.
  • In Cambodia, to provide take-home rations of four kilograms of rice for two months to 13,500 pregnant and nursing women.
