We're pleased to share this report of a meaningful visit with Mercy — the mom cook whose story inspired this project’s page.
In the video, you’ll see Mercy welcoming the Thrive team into her home and sharing, in her own words, how the income she earns through Thrive has changed her family’s daily life.
She talks about the small but steady steps she’s been able to take: buying essentials without fear, planning for her children’s schooling, and feeling proud of the work she does for her community’s students. Mercy’s story is a powerful reminder that every school meal supports not only a child’s education, but a mother’s dignity, stability, and hope for the future.
