School feeding programs are a powerful and integrated way to encourage children to attend school, support their learning, and prepare them for success. Working with local farmers and making use of perishable foods such as fruits and vegetables, schools can provide daily meals to more children while increasing local economic returns.
We are a global network working together to ensure that hunger is not a barrier for learning for any child. There is an immediate opportunity to reach 65 million school age children around the world who currently attend school but do not get enough to eat. Help us reach them by making a tax-deductible contribution to GCNF today.
