Project Report | Jan 19, 2026
Starting 2026 with Impact in Thrive Philippines

By Third Morano | Partnerships Coordinator

As 2026 begins, we reflect on the incredible strides your support made possible in 2025. Thanks to your generosity, hundreds of children in the Philippines started each school day with a full stomach, ready to learn, laugh, and grow. Every meal, every smile, and every engaged classroom was made possible by your partnership.

In 2025 Thrive provided daily meals to 637 children for 173 schools days across the Philippines. All in all, we served 110,201 school meals that helped keep school attendance above 91% and ensuring children could be present and learning every day.

Four partner schools now receive daily meals, all supported by local mothers who prepare, cook, and serve food each day.

Looking ahead, 2026 holds even greater promise. We aim to feed 4,000 children daily, strengthen local supply chains to ensure consistent, nutritious meals, and lay the foundation for our long-term vision: reaching 30,000 children with daily meals by 2030.

Thank you for being an essential part of this journey. Together, we are bringing health, hope, and happiness to children and their communities—and starting the year with an impact that lasts a lifetime.
