Breakfast Club of Canada works to empower every child to realize their full potential by providing a healthy morning meal before classes start. One child out of five in Canada is at risk of starting the school day on an empty stomach due to a lack of access to nutritious food. With our partnership, we are nurturing children's health, helping them realize their potential and giving an equal chance of success to all kids.

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide, reaching more than 76 million people in 81 countries with food assistance. WFP provides meals to 18.3 million children each year. We support WFP USA's school meal program because it can be life-changing to children, not only helping to improve their nutrition but improving their ability to learn.

In Canada, we provide nutritious morning meals before school starts. Children who receive this healthy, balanced breakfast have shown marked improvements in behavior, concentration, academic performance, social skills, and self-confidence.

In the US and Peru, we provide boxes of nutritious, non-perishable staple foods like rice, pasta, beans, canned vegetables and meat to offer relief for families and children who are affected by food insecurity. This provides vital nutrition and hope for children in need.

Providing nutritious meals at school gives children the energy to learn, break the cycle of poverty, and build a brighter future. We support an incredible program that supplies fruits and vegetables for school meals in Kenya. This 60-acre organic farm grows over 25 different varieties of organic produce centered on the traditional staples of maize and beans, supplemented by fresh fruits and vegetables. As part of this program, over 6,750 children in nine schools are also taught skills that promote food security.

Girls are disproportionately affected by lack of opportunities for education worldwide. When children are given meals in school, attendance increases, more girls receive an education and school performance greatly improves. For many children, a school lunch is the only meal they receive all day. Families are able to send their children to school knowing that they will receive a nutritious meal as well as an opportunity to learn.

Girls with more education have fewer children, have them later in life and are better prepared to care for their families. Studies have shown that a woman's education contributed to 43% of the reduction in child malnutrition over time.
