The Lunchbox Fund provides impoverished children in the township schools of Alexandra and Soweto often their only meal of the day. Many of these children are AIDS orphans who are caring for their siblings and whose performance at school is diminished without food. Receiving food encourages these children to stay in school and obtain their education.
Feed a child, Nourish a mind
When a child stays in school, their risk of HIV infection, abuse and unwanted pregnancy are greatly reduced. Because The Lunchbox Fund has no significant administrative costs, $8000 will support a disadvantaged school for an entire year.
