Every school day, children receive nutritious meals that provide the energy they need to concentrate, learn, and actively participate in class.
Hygiene: Students participated in practical hand-washing lessons to build lifelong healthy habits. Younger learners learned to use clean water and soap, proudly bringing their own basins and towels to practice.
Cultural Music Project: Grade Six pupils at Living Word Comprehensive School built traditional Ishiriri instruments using recycled materials, combining cultural heritage with environmental awareness.
The project culminated in joyful performances where students celebrated their creativity and African cultural identity.

At our Mikindani farm, we have planted green grams expected for harvest in April. This produce will be used directly in our school feeding program, reducing costs and improving nutritional value.

Our Heartfelt Thanks to YouWe are filled with joy to have you as a partner in this mission. It is because of your compassionate heart that 1,300 children can wake up each day knowing they have a seat in a classroom and a nutritious meal waiting for them. You are providing the resources that allow the children’s natural talents and their families’ dreams to flourish.
