EVERY CHILD DESERVES TO START THE DAY OFF
STRONG WITH A FULL BELLY
Starting off the school day with a healthy meal is invaluable for a child's health, growth, and educational success. For the nomadic children of South Khorasan, whose parents are primarily farm workers, the meals we provide them at school are often the only proper meal they receive all day.
Help Free IRAN (HFI) partners with Moms Against Poverty (MAP) to provide Shahid Navab school children with free breakfast for a year.
In 2022 we provided almost 4,000 nomadic students with daily breakfasts during the school week and the results, reported by their teachers and parents, were astonishing. Children who were previously lethargic and unable to focus in class were suddenly performing at a top level; chronic illnesses caused by malnutrition were almost completely eliminated and children were able to play and be curious as all children should.
