I would like to feed children for the remaining year
In response to the unprecedented crisis created in the field of education due to school closures, the government reacted swiftly and designed remote learning policies. The most common of them all was digital instruction.
“At least 463 million school children in the world, were unable to access remote learning during 2020 ” – UNICEF
The major contributing factor to reduced learning capabilities in children is directly impacted by health and nutrition. Evidence in Peru has shown that food insecurity during childhood reduced reading capability and numeracy scores while resulting in depleting short-term memory. Mid-day meals are a great incentive to bring children back to school and a means to keep their nutritional levels in check. Nutritious meals help children concentrate in class and help in eliminating classroom hunger.
The NGO Agape Hand serves midday meals to public school children in indigenous communities and the highlands, where children are most vulnerable.
Children have come back to school after 1.5 years of being away from school. This year, children from challenging socio-economic backgrounds have spent 1 year studying at home (with or without healthy food), but, they yet have 4 more months to gain the best of the knowledge and become healthier each day. While you help them with mid-day meals, you gain tax exemption too.
Contribute to feed nutritious meals to mid-day meal beneficiaries.
