- Increasing attendance and punctuality
- Providing support to parents
Schools proud to be able to make a difference
Thanks to the support we offer to build their capabilities, our school and community partners are able to implement and maintain reliable (five days per week), universally accessible and quality breakfast programs, with nutritious and complete meals. These programs also provide an inclusive and stigma-free environment, promote health, food literacy and mental health, and encourage active student participation, fostering volunteer engagement and mobilizing the entire community.

Nutrition at the Heart of Our Actions
Our approach to nutrition is based on the belief that breakfast programs not only provide access to a variety of nutritious foods but also have an educational impact by influencing children’s eating habits in a lasting way.
