“Thank you for the food and school supplies!” – 9-year-old Jeecob
For children Jeecob’s age in his community in the rural Philippines, school is not a given. Many children end their education early to go to work, contributing what little they can to overstretched household budgets. But for Jeecob, a guaranteed meal at school makes education possible. And it’s thanks to your support!
Unlike public schools in the U.S., most Filippino schools do not receive government funding for meals. In recent years, shifts in national funding have left local governments unable to cover the gap, creating a shortfall for the school-based meal program. With your help, Feed the Children is able to be a global partner to reach children like Jeecob and provide food where it is needed most.
“Because of Feed the Children, many children are inspired to go to school and have minimized hunger among children. They are a big support to our community,” says Jeecob’s mother, Rowena.
A single nutritious meal can change the course of a child’s life, and a family’s future. With your support, Feed the Children can reach more communities like Jeecob’s, providing children with food, essentials, and the opportunities they need to learn and thrive.
Children like Jeecob deserve to wake up knowing they will be fed today. With your gift, you can make that possible!
