Joseph

Student, Age 10

Before the foundation helped us, I often went to school hungry. Now I can focus on learning and my grades have improved so much.

Joseph's Story

Joseph comes from a family of seven. His father works as a day laborer, and his mother sells vegetables at the local market. Before the foundation's meal program, Joseph often went to school with an empty stomach.

"I used to feel dizzy in class. My teacher would ask me questions, but I couldn't think properly. I was so hungry."

When the foundation started providing daily meals at Joseph's school, everything changed. For the first time, he could concentrate on his lessons.

"Now I eat porridge in the morning and rice with vegetables at lunch. My head feels clear. I can answer questions now."

Joseph's grades have improved dramatically. He's become one of the top students in his class, particularly excelling in mathematics.

"I want to be a teacher when I grow up. I want to help other children learn, and I want to make sure no child in my class is ever hungry."
