Did you know that you’re helping children and families in the Bukit Tigapuluh Ecosystem to thrive? Thanks to you, kids in the Talang Mamak community have fresh, daily meals at school.
But you’re not just keeping kids fed, healthy, and focused in school. You’re also helping their entire community grow stronger!
As part of the School Food Program, women in the Talang Mamak community cook daily meals for school children. They prepare healthy, nutritious food so kids have full bellies and minds that are ready to learn. Thanks to you, these women earn a stable income to support their very own families.
And now, your impact is going even further!
Thanks to your support, a local community group has recently stepped in to source and transport weekly food supplies. This not only helps the program run smoothly, it also creates more work opportunities for people in surrounding villages.
More families are now taking ownership of the School Food Program, investing in the future of their children. And building healthier, stronger communities!
This is the ripple effect of your support in full effect!
The good news doesn’t stop there. We’ve been measuring changes in the children’s height and weight, to see improvements in their overall health.
Recent growth assessments found the following, positive results. Proof that your support is making the best kind of impact for kids!
- All 21 students assessed showed no decrease in weight since 2024
- Older students (Grade 5-6) are showing stronger Body Mass Index results. This suggests that the longer children are in the program, the more their nutrition improves.
So what does this mean? It means that thanks to your kindness, regular, healthy meals are preventing nutritional decline in kids. This is often a common challenge in remote areas like the Talang Mamak community. It means your generosity is giving kids the chance to grow, learn, and chase brighter futures. One meal at a time.
Thank you for being here for rainforest families. Your support is everything to them. Because of you, new doors are opening for kids and their families, every single day.
Thank you for choosing a world where every child, no matter where they live, has every chance to thrive. With full bellies and focused minds, kids in the Talang Mamak community are excelling in school and reaching for brighter futures, and it’s all thanks to you!
