Give Hope This Christmas by providing life-changing school meals to children in need.

Daily school meals can have a transformative effect on children living in poverty – helping them to grow, their families to thrive and enabling their communities to break the cycle of poverty they live in.

Teachers, parents and volunteers come together to run the school feeding programme – helping to build connections, cooperation and hope across the community.

The promise of providing daily school meals encourages children into the classroom, giving them the opportunity to receive an education and the hope of a brighter future.

The impact of our daily school meals goes far beyond reducing a child’s immediate hunger – it can help to unlock potential, strengthen communities and inspire change.
