"Knowing your kid is going to school hungry - I can't describe what that feels like."

- Michelle*, single mum

Struggling single mum Michelle was doing her best to give her seven-year-old daughter Kiya a brighter future. Without stable employment, she often skipped meals, sacrificed essentials like medicine, and had no choice but to send Kiya to school hungry.

Please, donate now and help us to be there for more children like Kiya and their families.

The effects of food poverty last a lifetime

Early childhood
Early childhood is a critical time for mental and physical development. Inadequate nutrition during this period can have long-lasting effects on a child’s cognitive growth and overall health.

Primary school age
When a child goes to school hungry, it can affect their focus, behaviour, and social development, putting them at a significant disadvantage to their peers.

Secondary school age
Children living in poverty are often ill-prepared to face the challenges of high school. They are at a higher risk of social exclusion, low self-esteem, mental health struggles, and engaging in antisocial behaviour.

Adulthood
Poverty is not a short-term issue. Children facing hunger often carry its effects into adulthood. Struggling to focus at school can limit future job opportunities, while poor health and well-being increase the risk of chronic illness.
