Dear Global Citizen,
I remember being full and I had so much energy after the meal.
These are the words of Aida – a 10 year old in Kyrgyzstan who remembered her first school meal being warm soup with a sweet bun. Like millions, receiving a nutritious meal during the day helps her concentrate and perform better in school. But the pandemic took away this lifeline and pushed many more families into poverty.
When school doors closed, so did school meal programmes and right now millions of children need our urgent support.
Will you join leaders fighting to restore school meals?
Tomorrow, over 60 countries, dozens of organisations and thousands of Global Citizens, are joining hands so every child has the opportunity to grow, learn and thrive. The School Meals Coalition (SMC) is an emerging initiative of governments and a wide range of partners to help children around the world have access to a nutritious meal in school by 2030.
Click here to join the celebrations at 10am EST.
Real change happens when we all stand together.
Add your name – make a commitment to secure the future for our children and our societies, and send a tweet to spread the word on why school meals are vital now more than ever.
