*HOPE FOR KIDS*
*NOURISH A CHILD, SUPPORT LEARNING: SCHOOL FEEDING*
A hungry child cannot learn. They cannot concentrate. They cannot stay in class. They sleep on the desk, or they leave to look for food.
In our communities, many children come to school hungry. Some have not eaten since yesterday. How can they learn?
That is why school feeding matters.
Because we nourished them, 200+ children now have a daily meal at school. Now they stay in class the whole day. Now they concentrate. Now they play and learn with energy.
When we nourish a child, we support learning.
Before feeding - children were weak, absent, falling asleep.
After feeding - children are strong, present, active in class.
Feeding has also kept our girls in school and brought back many who had dropped out. Parents now send children to school knowing they will eat.
But 520+ children are under our care, and food is not enough for all. Every day we have to choose who eats. We still lack enough maize, beans, porridge flour, and firewood.
Nourish a child today, support learning today.
Your support can fill a plate and fill a child's mind - so learning continues before the bell rings and after.
