FOOD AND NUTRITION

The children in the slum never know when they are going to get their next meal. It could be today...tomorrow...or maybe the day after. Food is scarce simply because these families are the poorest of the poor. When the children do get to eat, the food is just not nutritious. Many of them have retarded growth and physical weaknesses due to malnutrition.

All sponsored children are automatically included on the food programme. This means that they are guaranteed one cooked meal a day. Currently the food budget is stretched to feed a further 40 of the most malnourished children. It costs £6 a month to feed a child...less than some people would spend on a single meal.

The most important thing you could do to help these children is to sponsor a child. It costs far less than you think...less than the cheapest daily newspaper. You can also sponsor as a group...with friends, family or work colleagues. Check out our sponsor page HERE

It costs £20 to give fruit to every single child in the school. When someone donates fruit, it creates so much excitement amongst the children. It really is a major event. Please help us to provide food, fruit and nutritional supplements for these children. DONATE HERE
