About the Cause
Poor health and nutrition negatively affect children’s school attendance and ability to learn. We implement school feeding programs that look for alternative ways to ensure sustainable supply of nutritious foods to school children and young people in urban and marginalized areas.
In addition, contaminated water and poor sanitation are big factors that result in the death of children worldwide. In our programs, we always include what is called WASH which means Water, Sanitation & Hygiene. This is done through the design and construction of child-friendly and gender sensitive facilities for sanitation, such as latrines and hand-washing stations. We also provide clean water supply by building water wells and raise awareness about the importance of sanitation and hygiene.
My Story
Our newly formed School Council wanted to to a charity fundraising event over Ramadan to support children less fortunate than themselves. They decided to ask students to bring in their small change to their class, here each class will compete to raise the most money. They will then be awarded with an event to either use or donate to the cause. Food and nutrition is a cause close to our schools heart as we focus on sustainability, particularly in our Food and Nutrition program. It is likely that this program will continue to run after Ramadan.
