Your gift of just $10 a month can keep a child fed and nourished. For just 34 cents a day, a child’s life is changed!
Schools in the slums are more than learning centers. They provide basic needs that poverty-stricken parents and guardians cannot. For families that eat every two to three days, the most important need we meet is the need for food.
The lack of nutrition impairs a child’s ability to learn and develop. Chronic hunger damages a child’s mind and body, stunting growth and sapping energy and abilities. For children with HIV, missing meals makes it difficult for them to continue taking life-saving medications, as side effects become even more severe.
Food insecurity is associated with:
- grade repetition
- absenteeism
- anxiety
- aggression
- poor mathematics scores
- social dysfunction
