My Project

The items will ensure our students have access to nutritious meals, allowing them to stay focused, energized, and ready to absorb new information throughout the day.

Our goal is to eliminate hunger as a barrier to learning, creating an environment where every child can concentrate, participate, and reach their academic potential.

Our students are resilient, curious, and full of potential. Despite facing challenges, they show a remarkable eagerness to learn and grow when given the right support and resources.

The high poverty in my community has a serious impact on students' ability to learn. Many students come to school hungry, tired, or stressed due to unstable living conditions, which makes it hard to focus in class. As a result, students in poverty may fall behind academically, lose motivation, or drop out altogether. Poverty doesn't just affect learning; it shapes the entire school experience.
