She lost two meals a day when schools shut down for COVID-19.
But you can give them back to her.
In the slum schools of Kenya, children depend on eating two meals a day at our partner schools. When schools closed, they lost a main source of food.
Will you give a monthly food bundle to a student's family to help fight off starvation?
People in these communities live on less than $1.90/day, and now because of lockdowns, even that small amount of income has been cut off or taken a big hit... yet these parents need to feed their children 2 extra meals a day.
It’s a tragic plight.

“Children don’t even understand. They know there’s COVID, but when they’re hungry—they’re hungry.”

“I was the one in charge of distributing food to the parents. We packed enough food for them—rice, maize, beans—which is enough to take them for almost three weeks. The parents are so happy, they all wished you well.”

Seeds for Haiti
$40.00
Many Haitian people know what extreme poverty looks like; they live it every day. But now they are in danger of facing yet another disaster – food shortages! Bright Hope’s Haitian church partners have chosen to take a proactive approach rather than risk thousands of people going without food. We are committed to help by supplying extra seeds and water for irrigation. These provisions should increase the production of some 635 farmers by 40 to 50%. This increase is projected to impact over 3,000 people across six communities with food assurance despite the coming shortages.
We need your help! Please consider a gift of $40 to supply one farmer with seeds and water.
