Drew Barrymore’s donating $1 million to the World Food Programme to help feed children in Africa.
She revealed her plan on The Oprah Winfrey Show on US TV on Monday.
The 33-year-old actress told the talk show hosts audience: "I have seen with my own eyes what a difference a simple cup of nutritious porridge can make in a child's life."
"It helps them learn, stay healthy and sets them on track for a bright future."
Drew has worked with the charity since 2005 and became an Ambassador Against Hunger last year.
Meanwhile, the actress’ boyfriend Justin Long – who appeared on the show alongside Drew – told the crowd: "She's beautiful and funny. The most compassionate person I've ever met."
