Food for the Starting School Year
Our school year begins on September 30th, 2021. Students will attend class from Monday through Friday, which means we need resources to feed the students every school day from now until July. If meals are not available, many of the students will not attend: it is therefore essential we provide the basic daily subsistence in order to fuel their education. As it stands, we are in need of more donations to make this school year possible.

A Critical Time
Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, the families within our Goderich Community in Sierra Leone have been struggling to survive, facing food shortages and economic devastation. The priority of parents has shifted from educating their children to meeting their very basic needs. Our aim is to provide these children both subsistence and education.
A recent survey carried out by our field officers at the government primary schools in Goderich vicinity revealed that 1,000 of 1,500 Kids had severe deficiencies in their daily diet. Our Rural Education Committee (REC) School of Oba Funkia, Goderich has the highest rate of these underprivileged kids. Our work directly improves the physical wellbeing and educational prospects of those children most affected by the crisis.
We give special thanks and appreciation to all our donors, especially Voluntaryism in Action, for the help and improvement in quality of life for school-going children in Sierra Leone during this unprecedented Covid-19 era. Your donations help keep our school feeding program and farming projects alive within Sierra Leone!
The Kids Compassion Charity is working diligently to see that our school feeding program and farming project for 2021/2022 continues to provide access to the Kids of Compassion Charity.
