We power community-driven lunch programs in Tanzania, giving kids the fuel to learn so they can transform their communities. We are passionate about involving the local community in our lunch programs. All ingredients for uji porridge are purchased from local farmers to encourage sustainability. The children bring firewood from their homes and carry buckets of clean water from the local well to school. Jobs are created as parents are hired to cook the porridge over the open fire, serving the meal to the children in cups they bring from home.

This year, more than ever, we feel the needs of the local community at home calling to us. We hope that the participants in the Summer of Service 2020 will find ways to meet the moment to help their local community while raising funds for the children of the schools in Tanzania.
