Holt donors provided tasty, nutritious meals to preschoolers in Uganda.
Every day at preschool, Faith walks through the food line and fills her tray. She can’t help but smile as she rushes back to her seat to eat.
It’s because of Holt donors that Faith and the other children in her class received this nutritious meal! And this meal is critically important, because for many children it’s the only one they can count on each day.
The children who attend this preschool in rural Uganda wake up in the morning, often skip breakfast, then walk a long way to school. Once at school, they struggle to concentrate past their rumbling tummies…
Holt donors provide nutritious food across several preschools in Uganda, serving over 1,500 preschoolers! Each of these children is overcoming or staving off malnutrition. Not only that, but school attendance and performance have also gone up!
That’s why the food you provide them is so important. Not only does it take away hunger, but it also helps them concentrate in school.
Most days, this meal is made up of nutritious porridge, a hard-boiled egg and a banana — food full of critical protein, fat, carbohydrate, potassium and more. The menu is carefully picked out by Holt’s nutrition team, and is full of the nutrients that will nourish young children, helping them to learn and grow.
And parents and teachers can see the difference it makes!
“Faith has gained weight compared to how she was before enrollment with Holt,” says her mom, Harriet. “She looks healthier and happier now than before.”
