The Kasiisi Porridge Project has now begun to give rural schoolchildren living near the Kibale National Park in western Uganda a meal every day. We have raised £74,000 but the target figure is £100,000. 

 

Help us to keep this going until the project can be self-sustaining.

Three-quarters of them are too poor to bring lunch and many go without breakfast.

 

Many of them walk barefoot up to eight miles each way daily and stay at school till 6.00 pm.


So they need a meal during the day to help them concentrate.

Message from our Patron, TV Chef Ainsley Harriott:


"Feeding a child costs less than you might think."


Less than £20 buys lunch for a child for a year. So why not fund a daily mug of porridge  for one or more children? Your support can make all the difference to a child's life.
