Thrive Philippines: School Meals Change Lives

Project Report | Dec 21, 2023
Community = Thrive

By Priscilla, Gina, and Kathy | Project Leaders

Meet Louie Jay, a young boy benefitting from Thrive's feeding program on the remote Dawahon Island in the Philippines. Hear how Louie credits his success in winning his first gold medal in a swimming competition to the school meals Thrive provides. "Eating right is the stroke to my success." - Louie Jay 

 

Thrive provides healthy school meals to children living in the poorest areas of the world. We've witnessed the impact of school meals in increasing school attendance, improved attention spans and higher test scores. Thrive provides up to 50% of a child's daily nutritional needs in a single school meal.

 

Reflecting back on our successes and challenges this year, reminds us of our roots. Thrive is a response to a community asking us to feed its students. 

 

Local leadership jumped in. 

International support followed.

Our students thrived. See their success stories below. 

 

Now, 2,452 students, plus a waiting list of thousands depend on our daily nutritious meals. 

 Join our community. 

Feed a child today. 

 $10 feeds a child daily for a month 

$120 feeds a child daily for a year

 

With love, Priscilla and Gina
