Dear Friends and Supporters,
Thank you for your donation to provide meals for schoolchildren in Nigeria. Your support shows your care for children's education and wellbeing. However, we must share that the amount raised so far is not enough to begin our school feeding program.
Right now, children in these rural communities continue to attend school hungry. Many struggle to concentrate in class because their stomachs are empty. Some have stopped coming to school altogether because their families need them to work instead of learn. This difficult situation continues while we wait.
Our program is ready to begin when we have enough funds. We have identified schools where hunger is most affecting children's education. We have found local women who can prepare meals and local farmers who can supply ingredients. What we lack are the resources to purchase food and pay the cooks.
The need for these meals grows more urgent each day. Without proper nutrition, children cannot focus on their lessons, and their education suffers. Some may drop out of school completely, limiting their future opportunities.
We are asking for your continued support to make this program possible. Your contribution can provide a child with daily meals that help them stay in school and succeed in their studies.
Please consider helping us reach our funding goal, and we can ensure that no child has to learn on an empty stomach.
With gratitude,
Joy Ojochogwu Etubi
