Filling tummies in the kitchen built by parent hands
JCEC’s own kitchen serves hot porridge each morning, but the ingredients must be bought. Many pupils — especially those from Queen Esther Palace — rely on this meal as their only breakfast. It costs approximately 1,000 UGX to feed one child a steaming mug of fortified porridge per day.
-
With just 10,000 UGX: You buy the maize flour, millet, sugar, and groundnut paste to feed one child a hot breakfast for two whole school weeks (10 days).
-
20,000 UGX feeds a child for a month (20 school days).
-
35,000 UGX covers a child’s full term of porridge.
-
350,000 UGX feeds an entire nursery class for a term.
Every 10,000 UGX you donate is ten mornings of warm porridge, ten mornings of a child running to class instead of fainting on the mat. It’s love, ladled out daily in the same kitchen the first 22 pupils once used.
