Mission
The Catherine Bertini Trust Fund for Girls’ Education improves access to training and education for girls by supporting innovative efforts to reach and empower girls.
As the host of this initiative, World Food Program USA stewards the evolution of the Fund based on Ms. Bertini’s vision.

Catherine Bertini was the driving force behind reform of the World Food Programme (WFP) from 1992 to 2002, when she served as Executive Director. After winning the World Food Prize in 2003 for her contributions to food security, Ms. Bertini used her $250,000 reward to start the Catherine Bertini Trust Fund for Girls’ Education.
