For families in Kibera, the two month holiday (October- January) is one of the hardest stretches of the year, the school meal gone, the daily anxiety of feeding children very much present.
Last year, we distributed holiday food packs to families. Simple provisions. Nutritious ingredients. Enough to make a real difference to a parent trying to keep their child healthy, active, and growing through the break.
Our growth monitoring activity tells the rest of the story. Children came back in January well nourished, healthy, and ready to learn. Many had gained weight. Many had held the healthy trajectories we had worked all term to build.
Your continued support enables familes to ensure that their children are well fed during the long holidays.
We appreciate you!
