HOW DChiL SUPPORTS

Along with playing the quiz games on Freerice.com, DChiL supports its national philanthropy through donations accumulated from fundraisers. For instance, during the Spring 2023 semester, DChiL raised hundreds of dollars in their "DChiL Dares for UNWFP" in which all proceeds were donated to the WFP.
