In our efforts to raise awareness and funds for our nutrition programs, we started the EarlyBird Brunch Challenge. For the campaign, participants are encouraged to donate $5 to EarlyBird256 whenever they enjoy a meal. In addition to creating awareness for the nutrition challenges faced by the communities we work in. Our workshops teach children about the nutrition value of foods they have access to and the benefits of a balanced diet. That is why the recipes we will be sharing will be influenced by Ugandan cuisine. Some with a little twist.

The Squad might be diverse, but a love for food is something we all seem to have in common. One of the many ways that we check in with each other is through food. We love trying foods from different cultures, new restaurants, and anything we might pick up from the baking shows that we watch. This post is inspired by Ann, an EarlyBird256 Squad member, and one of the students from Rev. Nayenga Primary School, both of whom made kabalagala (you said it right) during the 2020 quarantine lockdown.

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.
