Did you know that despite there being enough food for everyone in the world, 783 million people still go to bed hungry every night? No one should have to struggle to provide food for their families. Together, we can change this.

By running in the Dubai Marathon in support of the World Food Programme (WFP), you’re doing more than crossing a finish line—you’re helping provide a lifeline. Your steps symbolize resilience and hope for millions facing unimaginable hardships.

WFP is the world’s largest humanitarian organization fighting hunger and delivering life-saving food assistance in emergencies. In the Middle East, WFP is on the ground every day, responding to crises and helping rebuild lives.

From Palestine to Lebanon, from Yemen to Syria, WFP provides critical food assistance to families who have lost everything due to conflict and disasters. For many, this support is the difference between life and death.

On any given day, WFP deploys 5,000 trucks, 20 ships, and 152 aircraft to deliver assistance to those who need it most around the world. Two-thirds of WFP’s work focuses on conflict-affected areas, where hunger is three times more likely.

Beyond emergencies, WFP invests in the future:

• • School meals programs ensure children have the nutrition they need to learn and thrive.
• • Livelihood programs help families rebuild and adapt to challenges like climate change.
• • Community resilience efforts lay the foundation for lasting peace and prosperity.

By supporting WFP through this campaign, your donation will go to where it’s needed most, ensuring life-saving food reaches the most vulnerable people.

Let’s turn every stride in the Dubai Marathon into a step toward ending hunger. Together, we can create a world where no one goes to bed hungry.
