SCHOOL MEAL PROGRAM
Studies have shown that if we invest one dollar today in early childhood nutrition, we can potentially realize at least three dollars in returns through improved academic achievement and long-term educational outcomes. The School Meal Program is designed to provide nutritious meals free of charge to students, improving their health, school attendance, concentration, and overall educational opportunities.
The program operates through periodic meal distributions during the school year and currently reaches approximately 1,500 children during each day of service across four schools in Oguta, Imo State, Nigeria. The participating schools include:
Girls Primary School, Oguta
Central School, Oguta
Town School, Oguta
Girls and Boys School, Oguta
A retired elementary school teacher once shared that some parents would rub palm oil on their children’s lips and send them to school on empty stomachs. These children would arrive at school hungry, yawning throughout lessons, and often falling asleep until a teacher could provide a snack. How can children learn effectively when their most basic nutritional needs are unmet?
Another story that remains unforgettable is that of a secondary school student who tragically took his own life. When one of his classmates was asked why such a young person would do this, he explained that the student frequently complained about returning home after school only to find there was no food to eat. While we may not be able to eradicate hunger completely, failing to act is not an option.
Through this initiative, approximately 1,500 children are provided nutritious meals on each service day, helping to reduce hunger, improve concentration, increase school attendance, and create a healthier learning environment. By investing in children’s nutrition today, we are investing in their education, future productivity, and the well-being of the entire community.
While the program currently focuses on elementary school students, our long-term vision is to expand services to secondary schools and increase the frequency and reach of meal distributions as resources allow.
WIDOWS | FATHERLESS | MOTHERLESS | ORPHANS | CHILDREN OF DISABLED PARENTS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
No child should be left behind due to poverty, disability or loss of parent(s). A child should not struggle with hopelessness and despair because his/her parent could not afford the basic supplies or afraid to ask parents to provide the minimum required materials to go to school. Our goal is to conduct back to school backpack event every year to provide underpriviledged children with school supplies, so they can start each school year with the tools needed to be successful.
For the widows:The main goal is to empower the widows in the community; by so doing they can have sustainable income to help the children listed above. We believe in teaching them how to fish would be better than giving them fish always. In 2019, we are distributed food items and gave them some money to help bring the joy of Christmas to their homes {see our gallery below for pic}. One of the ways we empower these widows is by contracting the "School Meal Program" to these widows. They cook and serve the meals to the kids and we pay them for their services.
Recipients of Joy of Christmas gift program were presented with Rice, spices,vegetable oil and N20,000 each. After the reciept of gift, they signed acknowledgment sheet for accountability. Those who could not make it to the distribution center had theirs delivered to their homes.
