Rice for malnourished slum kindergartners
Organization information
Human Development Foundation (Mercy Centre)
Location: Bangkok, Thailand
Summary
We serve almost 1 million meals in the slums each year, which makes rice our most important food staple. We provide rice every day to the 2,400 children enrolled in our 22 kindergartens. One in five children who enters our schools is malnourished and hungry, and it's very hard for the child to learn his first lesson on an empty stomach. In addition we provide food for the 120 orphans who live in our Centre. Currently, Covid19 has affected the livelihoods of the children and their caretakers.
