About Campaign
Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. Unfortunately, for many children across West Africa, hunger remains a constant barrier that prevents them from fully engaging in their education. A full stomach lays the foundation for a focused mind, and without proper nutrition, students struggle to concentrate, participate, and succeed in the classroom. The effects of hunger extend beyond academics, impacting overall well-being and long-term development.
Hunger Relief West Africa (HRWA) is launching a school lunch program to provide nutritious, protein-rich meals to children in public primary schools, starting in Nigeria and expanding across West Africa. Many students arrive at school without food, and when they can afford to buy lunch, it’s often lacking the nutrients they need to grow and learn. Hunger weakens concentration, slows development, and keeps children from reaching their full potential. Skipping lunch shouldn’t be part of a child’s education. Every child deserves a meal that fuels both body and mind.
The HRWA School Lunch Program partners with public schools to serve daily meals that include protein, vegetables, and staple foods. These lunches support health, improve school attendance, and help children stay focused in class. More than just food, each meal is a step toward a stronger future because lunch unlocks learning, and no child should have to learn on an empty stomach.

When children know they will receive a meal at school, they are more likely to attend consistently. Hunger can be a major distraction, making it difficult for students to concentrate, learn, and thrive in the classroom.
