School Meals Program
A hungry child cannot focus on learning — and for millions, school is the only place where a daily meal is guaranteed. At Windfall International, we understand that education and nutrition go hand in hand. Our School Meals Program ensures that children receive the nourishment they need to grow, concentrate, and thrive — turning classrooms into spaces of learning and wellbeing.
The Challenge
Harsh Tradeoffs
For many families living in poverty, sending a child to school means losing a meal at home — forcing children to choose between hunger and education.
Lasting Effects
Malnutrition doesn’t just affect learning; it affects confidence, physical growth, and long-term development.
Hidden Barrier
The result is a silent barrier to progress that keeps children trapped in a cycle of disadvantage.
Across the world, countless students attend school on an empty stomach. Without regular meals, concentration fades, attendance drops, and overall performance declines.
What Windfall Does
Windfall International provides nutritious daily meals through school-based feeding partnerships and community-supported kitchens.
Our approach is practical and sustainable:
-
Partnering with local schools to serve warm lunches during school hours.
-
Sourcing local ingredients to support community farmers and lower costs.
-
Engaging parents and volunteers in meal preparation to strengthen local ownership.
Each meal provided means one more child can study, play, and grow with the focus and energy learning requires.
How to Help
Your support fuels more than a bus — it fuels a child’s education.
Final Note
Together, all of Windfall International’s programs — from school meals to scholarships — form a complete journey.
Key Message:
-
A path that begins in childhood and continues through youth.
-
Guiding students from learning to living.
-
Supporting the journey from dreams to independence.
Impact
The change is immediate and measurable. Attendance rates increase, classroom participation improves, and dropout rates decline. Children once too tired or hungry to concentrate now attend school regularly and with enthusiasm.

“Before the meals, I couldn’t stay awake in class. Now I eat every day at school and my teacher says I answer more questions.”
— Lilian, Age 9, Student Beneficiary
Teachers report calmer, happier classrooms — and parents express relief knowing their children are cared for both academically and nutritionally. A simple meal can transform not just a day, but an entire future.
