Lunchbox Fund collaborates with Government and Non-Government stakeholders so that our work is sustainable, relevant, and has greater impact. Strategic partnering ensures that childcare, stimulation and education is provided alongside our meals. Organisations working together - ‘resource stacking’ - to address a range of children’s needs leads to the development of the whole child, and has a multiplier effect in uplifting communities.

Why Nutrition?
