Our Breakfast Program ensures our students are energized, well-nourished, and ready to learn and is one key driving force of our success. In remote areas, like Matènwa, malnutrition is not uncommon and food scarcity is a harsh reality. Some families cannot guarantee their children one meal per day. By providing a daily breakfast, you help prevent absenteeism, reduce dropout rates, and promote a happy and healthy learning environment.

How can you help?
Rely on your friends! Raising just $320 within your network means every student at the Matènwa Community Learning Center is guaranteed one meal. $1 = 1 meal. How many can meals will you make possible?
​
1. USE SOCIAL MEDIA! (If it's your thing)
​
Post this graphic (on the right) and ask your friends to help you gift a certain number of meals. We suggest 320 meals to start, which guarantees at least one meal to every student enrolled in the Matènwa Community Learning Center.
​
You can post the caption under the graphic, modify it, or create your own!
​
2. KEEP YOUR FRIENDS MOTIVATED.
​
Post an update when you reach milestones! "First donation is in. Let's keep it going." "We're half way there" "Only 40 meals left to go."
​
3. THINK OUTSIDE OF THE SCREEN.
​
Use any network you have access to. Colleagues? Yoga Mates? Neighbors? Hiking Crew? People are happy to support causes they know you care about it. Spread the word!
​
4. ASK US FOR HELP.
We'd love to help you get a fundraiser started. Contact Jemima@matenwa.org to get it going!

I support MCLC because I believe quality education is KEY in Haiti's fight against poverty, insecurity, and injustice. MCLC fights for social justice and honors the right of each and every Haitian child.
