For many of the children who attend the Roof of Africa school, the two meals they receive each day at school are the only food they can truly rely on. While these meals provide vital nourishment during the school day, evenings, weekends, and holidays often bring uncertainty, hunger, and hardship.

No child should have to wonder where their next meal will come from.

When school gates close, the safety net disappears. For families already facing extreme poverty, providing consistent, nutritious food at home can feel impossible. This leaves children vulnerable at the very times they should feel safest—at home, with their families.

That’s why our food parcel programme is so essential.

By supporting families in these circumstances, we can extend care beyond the classroom and into the home. A simple food parcel can mean the difference between hunger and nourishment, between anxiety and relief. It ensures that children are not only able to learn—but also to grow, thrive, and feel secure.

Your support can help put food on the table when it’s needed most.

Step in where the need is greatest.
Provide a food parcel. Support a family. Help ensure that no child goes hungry—no matter the day of the week.
