USAID Food for Peace PHOTO Contest 2018

     

The United States Agency for International Development is calling for entries for its 2018 food for peace photo contest. They look out for photos that help tell the story of Food for Peace and its accomplishments in reducing hunger, poverty and malnutrition.

On July 10, 1954, President Eisenhower signed into law the legislation that would eventually become known as the Food for Peace Act. As a result, the Food for Peace program has been bringing help and hope to the far reaches of the world for more than 60 years – reaching more than 4 billion hungry people since its inception
