School Meals For Every Child

The Challenge

Hunger empties classrooms faster than any other force. Children who walk miles to school on empty stomachs cannot concentrate, fall sick more often and eventually stop coming. A single hot meal a day reverses all of that.

Our Approach

We run kitchens inside partner schools, staffed by mothers from the neighbourhood and supplied by local farmers. Menus are designed with nutritionists, attendance is tracked daily, and the results speak: enrolment up, grades up, illness down.
