EarlyBird256’s Porridge Program combats hunger in the classroom and is one of our founding programs. It’s the perfect way for us to begin empowering a community and have an immediate impact on the lives of its residents.

For the past few months, the teachers have been preparing the Primary 7 students for their P.L.E exams. As they finish their primary school, we want to encourage them to dream of continuing their education. For many, they will be the first to go to secondary school so It is important for the students to do their best so that they can be eligible to get into Secondary school.

The Porridge Program is created to promote nutrition in especially primary schools in rural areas. Too many children are learning on empty stomachs and still have to take the same National Exams taken by those who have the privilege to have their basic needs met.
