Bridging the Gap

“My favourite food is rice and beans!”

“I love eating ugali, meat, and the healthy green vegetables they give us for lunch on Tuesdays.”

“I enjoy eating the fruits they give us. They give us different fruits, like watermelon, oranges, and bananas, which are my favourite.” 

These are a few answers our children shared with us after being asked what their favourite food is while in school. During the school year, the feeding programme has provided students with daily meals that support their health and learning, helping to create a stable foundation for academic success. The daily breakfast and lunch have contributed to not only encouraging school participation but also improving the health of the children during the school days.

When schools close for a long holiday, many children face the risk of food insecurity due to insufficient income from their parents. Therefore, the holiday feeding programme bridges this gap by providing food packs to families during the long school holiday to prevent hunger and maintain their well-being. 

The school feeding programme, extended through the holiday feeding initiative, ensures that vulnerable children have consistent access to nutritious meals even when school is not in session. This combined approach not only addresses immediate nutritional needs but also reinforces a supportive environment where children can focus on enjoying their stay at home without the concern of food scarcity. 

We invite you to make a meaningful impact on the lives of vulnerable children by supporting our holiday feeding programme. Your generous donation will help us extend our feeding programme through the holiday season, ensuring these children have access to nutritious meals even outside of school. By giving, you help us provide not only sustenance but also stability and hope for these young minds and their families.
