For our 2023 Christmas Fundraiser, we hope to raise funds to upgrade from the buttered bread rolls that we currently offer, to nutritious meals.
Kids often come to our classes quite hungry, and being able to offer a full meal, with some protein and vegetables, will give them the energy to keep powering through the day.
We estimate that we can provide a nutritious portion of food for 6 reais (£1) per child. Our classes run 3x per week. So we need to raise £720 to feed all 20 kids for 3 months. Or, £2,880 for the full year.
The project will also provide a part-time job for one of the mum’s in the community, who will buy the ingredients and prepare the food.
At present, we offer bread and butter for the kids, at 1/6 of the cost.
