Donate a meal voucher and give a rural child hope for a brighter future!

For a hungry child a meal voucher means HOPE.  And where there is hope –  there is a way forward.

Meal vouchers are the answer to more than hunger -  they help to unlock the door to a brighter future for children on our Path Out of Poverty (POP) programme. These children cannot see a future beyond the poverty of their present lives. And one of my greatest challenges is to give these children hope. Hope to visualise a future different from the lives their parents lead as seasonal farm workers. Hope to see themselves in a brighter future, and to have goals and dreams. These children have all the potential in the world, they just need to believe that there is help for them, and that with a little help they can succeed!

The help can come in a simple, but powerful formula that can change a rural child’s life!

Voucher = Food = Brain power/energy/health = children going to school and staying in school = children succeeding.

Why does each meal voucher last for no less than 90 days?

For 90 days (three months) of every year there is no work on the farms for seasonal farm workers. This means there is no money, and no food to put on the table. These three months also fall at a time of year when it is cold and rainy, and the poor are particularly susceptible to illness. This is when families really falter, it is a time of desperation for parents, trying to feed their children, and for children who drop out of school because they are too hungry or weak to learn.

The most tragic thing for me is that this can be prevented. Donate a meal voucher and become a messenger of hope for a rural child today!
