Undernutrition continues to be a major public health problem in Bangladesh, affecting a significant portion of the population, especially children. According to recent statistics, approximately 41% of Bangladeshi underprivileged children are underweight. This is a critical issue that demands immediate attention and action.
JAAGO Foundation has been working towards addressing this problem since 2007, by providing essential nutrition and education to underprivileged children in Bangladesh. Through its "Feed the Children" project, the foundation has been making a positive impact on the lives of thousands of children, giving them the opportunity to live healthier and more fulfilling life.
Providing a Basic Human Need
Nutrition is a basic human need, and it is essential for the physical and mental development of children. Undernourished children are more susceptible to diseases, have weaker immune systems, and face learning difficulties. The JAAGO Foundation recognizes the importance of nutrition and has made it a priority to provide daily meals to underprivileged children in Bangladesh.
The "Feed the Children" project provides wholesome meals, rich in essential nutrients, to children from underprivileged families. The foundation works with local communities and partners to ensure that meals are of high quality and culturally appropriate. By providing daily meals, the foundation is giving children the energy and strength they need to grow, learn, and lead healthier lives. Recently in January, hundreds of children received nutritious food in our Banani branch from Thrive, one of our partners .
Investing in the Future of Bangladesh
Investing in the future of Bangladesh's children is vital for the country's long-term development. The JAAGO Foundation understands this and has made it a priority to provide not only nutritious food but also quality education to underprivileged children. By providing these essential services, the foundation is empowering children to break the cycle of poverty and reach their full potential.

Maintaining a proper diet is fundamental for living and staying healthy. Healthy ageing involves the interaction between genes, the environment, and lifestyle factors, particularly diet and physical activity. Good nutrition is also indispensable for optimal school performance.
In Bangladesh, most of the rural people are suffering from malnutrition. They are under the poverty line. Almost 41% of underprivileged Bangladeshi children are underweight. They do not get to have good food. Their poverty has taken them to a state where they dream of having proper nutrition.
Along with stationary and crucial supplies, JAAGO distributes students with meals at school for their nutritional needs. Their regular nutritious food distribution includes items such as Buns, Boiled Eggs, Bananas, Energy Biscuits, Nuts, Dates, Guavas, Apples, Oranges, Ice Cream, etc. They are trying hard to keep children away from diseases from such a young age.
Recently, 541 students from JAAGO Banani Branch have been provided with Peanuts, Singara, Guava, Apple, Malta, Hog plum, Date, Milk, Egg, and Banana. 320 students from JAAGO Habiganj Branch got Bananas, Eggs, Milk, Singara, Cholla, Apple, Guava, Orange, and Cucumber. Also, each student from each branch got honey for a nutritional boost.
JAAGO School will validate that children can perform their best. Contributing to our organisation will help us to provide them with the opportunity of a nutrition boost in this growing stage of their life. Thus, it will also work on children's physical and emotional development. Moreover, they will be able to get the best extract from their given education.

THRIVE supports our following JAAGO Foundation Schools for their regular food distribution: Rayer Bazar, Banani, Gaibandha, Dinajpur & Habiganj. Their regular nutritious food distribution includes various food items, including Buns, Boiled Eggs, Bananas, Energy Biscuits, Nuts, Dates, Guavas, Apples, Oranges, Ice Cream, etc. More than 900 students from our Banani and Habiganj branch were recently provided nutritious food. Not only that, but we have additionally provided meals and food items to our students with your contribution. As part of this food distribution program, the children receive nutritional messages and academic learning. It is also a pleasure for our parent groups to receive such support from our schools from time to time. They are also becoming aware of the nutritional requirements of their children. Parents are becoming more aware of nutrition and the health of their children.

Children need to eat enough food every day to ensure their growth and development. Children require nutrition during their schooling to optimise their focus and understanding. Along with stationary and crucial supplies, JAAGO provides students with meals at school for their nutritional needs.
JAAGO implements a healthy living program to ensure that our students and their families access nutritious food. These children and their families cannot meet the challenge of their daily bread. Hence, providing proper nutrition for their growth prepares them for the future.

Ensuring regular school enrollment and continuing attendance remains a problem across the underprivileged communities of our country. Instead of going to school, parents send their children to work outside to buy food and support their families. JAAGO School & Community Feeding Programme aimed to improve school attendance and performance while reducing hunger and food scarcity in the community. Thus, the community can be engaged with their schools for a longer time and be healthy at the same time.
Here at JAAGO, we provide boiled eggs, bananas, buns, biscuits, nuts, dates, guavas, apples & oranges to all students of each JAAGO School around the country. Around 4,000 JAAGO students are part of our School Feeding Program. Through the discussion regarding the daily food intake, students are conscious of eating nutritious food and living a healthy life. Parents are delighted to receive such support from our schools regularly. They are also getting aware of the nutritional requirements of their children. We also teach them mandatory dining etiquette. From washing hands with soap before meals to dumping waste materials in the bins, they know it all now.
In September, one of our partners, Thrive distributed healthy food to our students in Bandarban and their families. We are thankful for their constant support.
