Nia Children's Foundation

Attending school is not a priority for most underprivileged children growing up in developing countries. Many parents cannot afford basic food supplies to feed their families, therefore children spend their days looking for food on the streets rather than attending school and developing an education. Many schools are formed in the slums to try and get these children into some sort of basic education, but they receive little help and funding so they struggle to provide the children with food and educational materials. We identify schools in the slums that need support and provide them with food supplies to feed the children a daily breakfast and lunch. The impact... The structure of our program is very simple but the impact has allowed us to make a massive difference to these children's lives. The children now regularly attend school, have a healthy breakfast and lunch every day and are much more alert and active in class. In the last 15 years we have supported 4 schools, 1100 children and supplied 2.5 Million meals! Where does your money go? • 97% of donations received are used directly to pay for the food supplies and educational materials. • Less than 3% of donations are used for admin costs which include the maintenance of online donations. • NO donations are used in wages or expenses. Our finances are extremely transparent and supporters can see exactly where every single penny of their donations is being spent.
