SHAPE Team Lighthouse hasn't added a story.
On Sunday 21st of May, the SHAPE Team behind the Lighthouse Project is running a 1/2 marathon (21kms) together to raise funds for our nominated Charity "Food2Think" Please donate today. Every donation will help and we thank you in advance for your contribution.
About Food2Think
Simon and Jeanette, who lived and worked in Nepal as teachers between 2012 and 2015, set up the charity following a request from the school principal, Gita Lamsal, to help to provide lunches for the school children. They began the journey of initiating the lunch programme in January 2015, and have since then provided healthy meals, 6 days a week for every child at the Gayatri Devi Basic School, situated in the rural district of Dhading Besi, Nepal.
Many of the children work with their parents on family small holdings before going to school. This project has been very well received by the children, who, prior to this initiative, did not eat whilst at school. The teachers have seen an increase in school attendance since its introduction and parents are glad of the support. Although small in size, our charity has made a big difference to the future of these young people helping them thrive.
Our mission is to make sure that every child has access to nutritious meals that will help them to grow and have the energy to learn to their full potential. Funds are provided directly to the school to give them the autonomy to employ an cook and ensure that the meals are made fresh with locally-sourced ingredients.
The Food2Think Team
All members of the Food2Think Team are volunteers, ensuring that all money raised goes to this good cause.
Simon and Jeanette live in the UK and Rohit lives in Nepal.
How your money will be used.
All money* donated to Food2Think goes straight to the school lunch fund
We aim to expand this model to a second school, the Jana Jyoti Basic School in the Tanahu District. The initial phase of the project is to support the younger children up to the age of 11 years old in the first year. As the lunch programme becomes established we intend to roll the lunches out to all the 180 pupils within the school.
* approximately 3.5% is used for administration purposes (bank and website costs only)
The meals are produced on-site at a cost of about 45c per meal.
Just $100 would enable a child to enjoy a healthy school lunch for a whole year, 6 days a week.
