FEED POOR CHILDREN

At OWHA we believe that a chance at a better life begins with a full tummy, which is why we’re committed to feeding the hearts, minds and tummies of Ugandan children who are forced to go to school on an empty stomach. The Feed Poor Children is a program whose main aim is to establish feeding programs within villages. 

OWHA continues to work hard to feed the hearts, minds and tummies of South Africans in need and with your help we're accomplishing great things. We'd love to share the exciting and uplifting news about our latest projects, events and sponsors with you! "Give a kid a smile and hope through nutrition."

Why Feed the Children?  

 Nutritious feeding supports the achievement of many Goals ie. hunger quench, education and gender parity and offers multiple benefits:  

• Education: feeding increases enrollment and attendance of kids in schools and can help children learn more effectively.  
• Nutrition: the meal is often the only nutritious meal a child gets on a regular basis. It can fight malnutrition and a lack of essential micro nutrients that can curb development.
• Health - Meals provide a platform for directly addressing child health for example through deworming schemes. It can also be a platform for other health interventions.
• Social protection: Meals acts as safety for the household, helping families to educate their children and protect their food security in times of crisis.
• Local agricultural production: Using locally sourced food means school feeding programs benefit not only children, but also farmers, communities and rural economies.
