Aya, an 8-year-old participant in our healthy meal program, was once often fatigued in class. Now, her teacher says, “Aya has become one of the most active students in class. She’s focused, confident, and always smiling. It’s incredible what one warm meal a day can do.” Aya agrees, sharing, “I like coming to school now because I feel strong and I can study better. My favorite meal is rice with chicken!”
With the help of new school supplies, Sara walks into class with pride, ready to learn and participate. Her attendance and engagement in the classroom have increased, and her grades have improved.
“Seeing Sara go to School proud of her own supplies has changed everything,” her mother shared. “She’s motivated, excited, and confident.”
In Arab Jaleen, Youssef, age 11 once struggled to keep up in class without the necessary tools he needed. He often stayed quiet, borrowing from others or going without him. After receiving his school kit, everything shifted, Youssef now joins in class discussions, finishes his homework, and enjoys learning alongside friends.
Youssef proudly said, “Having my own school bag and supplies makes me feel like I belong!”
We envision a free, just and peaceful Palestine where children thrive and look forward to a productive future, like children everywhere.
