Coins 4 Kids: You Can "Fill the Cup"

The Red Cup is a Symbol of Hope

The World Food Program (WFP) uses red cups to distribute school meals. Each cup is filled with nutritious food staples, like soya, cereal and beans. When you fill a cup with change, you can feed a child for an entire school year and give them a chance at a brighter future.

School Meals Tackle Gender Inequity

School meals encourage poor households to send children to school and keep them there. Programs often target girls, enabling them to gain an education even in societies that traditionally exclude them from schooling.

Supplementary Benefits

Schools are the centre of many villages and communities. School meals connect teachers, parents, cooks, children, farmers, and the local market.

A Simple Solution

A daily school meal provides a strong incentive to send children to school and keep them there and allows the children to focus on their studies, rather than their stomachs.
