"We were confronted with mass starvation on a gigantic scale. If order was to be preserved and wholesale death prevented, there was only one course of action possible"
In 1946 Herbert Hoover spoke these words following a visit to Japan. The reaction to these words resulted in national school feeding being implemented across Japan.
Subsequently n 1964 Senator George McGovern was able to say; "Japanese school children have been forced to install larger desks because the children of this generation are larger than their mothers and fathers".
The impact of a school meal is huge. It can change the trajectory of a country. It can change a life. By supporting Seibo you can help provide a better future for all.
School feeding carries many benefits- education, nutrition and health, gender equality, food security, poverty alleviation- in one single meal.
The world has been changed before by ensuring every hungry child in the world gets a hot meal at school- in Japan. Now is Malawi's time of need. Let's not wait for the above headline.
Seibo Activity Report: May-June 2017
The latest report from Malawi show once again how by combining our efforts we can achieve more- we now support 1,804 nursery children and 12,690 primary school children.
In addition with your help we have provided 90 children with sponsored places in nursery. Think about those numbers.
Over 14,000 children receiving a meal at school enabling them to ensure school days are truly the best days of their lives. In addition 90 children are now attending nursery who without your support would not have got the chance. Perhaps having this opportunity they will now go on to attend primary school and having been given this small chance go on to further great things in the future.
Imagine you could actively support this change in other children. You can. We must.
There are more needy & vulnerable children on our waiting list and your support can make the difference.
