Story

I am participating in my St. John's Episcopal Youth Group's annual Fill The Bowl event, which is a 6-week fundraiser, culminating in an overnight empathy event. On March 6-7, I will fast for up to 30 hours, sleep outside in a cardboard box, and complete local service projects. Proceeds benefit The Lunch Project, a nonprofit that serves lunch to students at five schools in Tanzania, giving them what they need to learn. YOU play a crucial part in helping me give kids the fuel to learn and the potential to become a person who makes the world a better place. I am so thankful for your support!

About the charity

We power community-driven lunch programs in Tanzania, feeding over 5,000 students at 6 schools. $100 per day provides lunch for an entire school, which breaks down to less than a dime per student. Schools with lunch programs see their average attendance rise and test scores improve.
