LUNCH PROGRAM ESSENTIAL

By Diana Richardson | Executive Director

The Makindu Children’s Program, hosted at the Makindu Children's Center, provides essential daily meals to a remarkable 400 to 600 orphaned children. This initiative plays a crucial role in addressing food insecurity among our vulnerable population, especially given the rising food and fuel prices that have made affordable sustenance increasingly scarce.


Despite the challenging economic climate, the program has successfully maintained its commitment to ensuring that no child in our care suffers from malnutrition. The nutritious meals provided each day not only support the children's physical health but also contribute significantly to their overall well-being. We are proud to report that none of the children are chronically truant, a testament to the positive impact that consistent, nourishing meals have on their ability to attend school and engage in learning.


The Makindu Children's Program operates with a dedicated team of volunteers and staff who work tirelessly to prepare meals that meet the nutritional needs of the children. Each lunch is designed to be balanced and wholesome, reinforcing the idea that proper nutrition is foundational to education and personal development.

The importance of a full belly cannot be overstated. When children are well-fed, hope and optimism flourish, fostering a conducive environment for learning and growth. The program not only addresses immediate hunger but also builds a foundation for future success. The smiles seen during lunch hour are a vivid reminder of the hope that sustains us all.


Thanks to donors like you, Makindu Children's Program continues to make a significant difference in the lives of hundreds of children, providing not only meals but also a sense of stability and community amidst challenging circumstances. With ongoing support, we can ensure that hope remains high in our children’s lives.


Please consider continuing your support.
