Have you ever heard the line “there are hungry kids in Africa” and wondered how your current meal could benefit them? Now you can contribute to helping underprivileged communities in Africa not only have food on their plates, but also have access to information about nutrition — all by enjoying everyone’s favorite meal: brunch.

Earlybird’s GoFundMe page is now live, making it easier for us to secure the resources we need to continue our work. As many of you know, we’re dedicated to providing a safe space for underprivileged children in Uganda. All proceeds from the campaign are used to fund our educational programs and wellness packages, which we administer directly to the communities we work with.

At EarlyBird256, we use affirmations in our programs to empower young girls to use their voices and take up more space. The communities we work with face so many social and economic challenges that this can be very hard to do. We start by reminding the girls that they matter, that they are seen, and that they are important. That is what #DoingLittleThingsWithPassion means to us.

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.
