Fill My Cup

According to UNICEF estimates, over 900,000 children in Kenya require humanitarian assistance due to prolonged drought, while in Tanzania, USAID’s health survey shows that 3.3 million children under the age of 5 are affected by chronic malnutrition. These children in both countries face challenges such as child mortality, undernourishment, and stunted growth.

WF-AID’s Brighter Futures initiative includes the Fill My Cup Appeal, which provides nutritious school meals to 1,228 pupils in 23 nurseries and educational centres in Tanzania and daily meals to 3,656 indigent students from 15 centres in Kenya. This program has helped reduce the number of children missing out on education by providing meals – incentivising impoverished parents to enrol their children in school.

The Mohsin and Fauzia Jaffer Foundation has kindly been sponsoring daily school meals to 728 nursery students across Tanzania since 2021. However, 500 students in Tanzania and 3,656 students in Kenya are still in need of your generous support.

Many underprivileged families in Tanzania and Kenya struggle to send their young children to school due to financial constraints and household responsibilities. The program offers daily oatmeal and provides safe drinking water from locally constructed wells as part of the Ali Asghar Water Appeal. With improved access to water and a nutritious diet, these children will be better equipped to focus on their education and achieve brighter futures.

By contributing to our decade-long appeal, you can help provide nutritious school meals to children who may not have access to regular meals at home. This can incentivize their enrolment in school and ultimately improve their academic performance. Without access to education, these children may be forced to work or engage in menial labour from a very young age, putting their safety and well-being at risk.

A generous donation of just £5 will help feed a child for a month, while a donation of £50 can provide a year’s worth of nutritious meals.

Your support can make a real difference in the lives of these children and their families, giving them a chance to break free from the cycle of poverty and build a better future for themselves and their families.

Donate towards the Fill My Cup Appeal to help instill hope, happiness and a brighter future for the leaders of tomorrow.
