Bread of Life Program

Children eating a nutritious meal

Nourishing Bodies, Fostering Growth

Uganda faces a food insecurity rate of over 27% in rural areas, leading to widespread malnutrition among children. The Bread of Life Program directly addresses this critical need by providing consistent access to nutritious food, ensuring children have the energy and health to learn, play, and thrive.

Our holistic approach goes beyond just providing meals; we aim to educate communities on sustainable nutrition practices and build local food security.

  • Daily feeding programs: Operating at 15 centers, each serving 200 children per day, totaling over 1 million nutritious meals annually.
  • Mobile food trucks: Reaching 500 street children three times a week, providing an additional 0.5 million meals per year to the most marginalized.
  • Caregiver training: Empowering 500 caregivers annually with knowledge in child nutrition, balanced diets, and hygienic food preparation.
  • Local farm partnerships: Collaborating with 50 local farms to source fresh, organic produce, supporting local economies and ensuring quality food.
