My Project

My school is located in the poorest ward in the city and my students live in communities where there are virtual food deserts. Many of them work and have children , so food is often unattainable. They face many obstacles just coming to school and feel safe when they arrive at school each day . I want to be able to not only nourish their spirits but also nourish their bodies. With your help I can provide nutritious snacks to my students and their children . Students can't function when they don't have enough to eat .
