Good nutrition is the foundation of learning – without it, preschool children cannot grow, concentrate, or thrive, making healthy meals as essential as education itself.
The impact of our Nourish our Children nutrition programme on both children and their teachers in 2025 has been life-changing and affirmed the importance of our work in uplifting under resourced preschools in poverty stricken communities.
This is due to us funding and providing preschool principals with consistent nutritious food together with meal planning and menu training to ensure our programme is implemented effectively.
Our incentivised reporting system feeds into quarterly in-field monitoring and evaluation visits, enabling us to provide informative donor impact reports
Why your gift matters
Investing in healthy food every day to a child at preschool is the greatest gift of all. Food is the foundation for learning, emotional well-being, and future success.
Individual Giving:
By becoming a monthly donor and sponsoring healthy daily meals is the greatest gift you can give a small child, as you are ensuring their school readiness and future education to realise their dreams.
Corporate/SME Partnerships:
Our corporate partnership pairing programme connects preschools with companies who commit their annual funding to nutritious food for the children and staff. We find the right number of children in the school to align with CSI budgets and the necessary impact reporting and affidavits to support the investment.
