We recently launched our school lunch program! It’s something I’ve always wanted to do with the Joumou Fund as so many children go to school without a proper breakfast and spend the school day hungry. I don’t need to tell you how this affects a child’s ability to learn, concentrate, behave, etc.

Unfortunately, this is the norm in Haiti. Data shows that over 40% of the population in Haiti faces food insecurity.

We’re starting slow. Currently, the program serves 50 students (and teachers) of various grades at our partner school College Audillon Sylvestre. We serve a meal of the traditional rice or beans or pasta two to four times a week.

If you’d like to support, just $20 can sponsor meals for the week! Donate today.
