Do you know about FreeRice?

We love it, as it shares the very same values Nektarina Non Profit is promoting - education, caring about people and environment. Join us in playing & learning, and help provide food for those in need.

Here is how FreeRice describes itself:

FreeRice is a non-profit website run by the United Nations World Food Programme.

FreeRice has two goals:

• Provide education to everyone for free.
• Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

This is made possible by the generosity of the sponsors who advertise on this site.

Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your education can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.

Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide.

We find this particularly interesting and important:

How does playing the vocabulary game at Freerice help me?

Learning new vocabulary has tremendous benefits. It can help you:

• Better formulate your ideas
• Write more effective papers, emails and business letters
• Speak more precisely and persuasively
• Comprehend more of what you read
• Read faster because your comprehension improves
• Get higher grades in high school, college and graduate school
• Increase your scores on tests like the SAT, GRE, LSAT and GMAT
• Improve your performance at job interviews and conferences
• Sell yourself, your services, and your products more effectively
• Be more successful in your job

After you have played Freerice for a while, you may notice an strange phenomenon. Words that you have never consciously used before will begin to pop into your head while you are speaking or writing.

How can I play other subjects, besides English vocabulary?

Click on the Subjects link near the top right of the page to see a list of all subjects available at Freerice. There is math, science, geography, art history, foreign languages and more. Freerice is working to add more subjects and expand material within each subject. Our goal is to provide knowledge that is useful and interesting for you.

If Freerice has the rice to give, why not give it all away right now?

Freerice is not sitting on a pile of rice. You and other Freerice players earn it 10 grains at a time. Here is how it works: when you play the game, sponsor banners appear on the bottom of your screen for every correct answer that you choose. The money generated by these banners is then used to buy the rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice donated to hungry people.
