Thanks to you, over 3 million meals were served through school and community meal programs last year – this is 50% more than last year! And you didn't stop there. You gave confidence, hope, pride, and peace of mind to children and their families around the world. That’s why we're so pleased to share the newest thrive! newsletter with you.

Children like Nakato and Wasswa in Uganda, Grayce in Natoaganeg in New Brunswick, and Aliu in Ghana are eating well, thriving at school, and connecting with their heritage. That’s the power of your generosity! We hope you enjoy learning more about your impact.

Observing Day of the African Child with Nakato and Wasswa, Uganda

Thanks to your generous support, twins Nakato and Wasswa have a newfound love for reading. We hope you enjoy reading about their experience just as much. Their story underlines the importance of advocating for every child's right to education.

Bonus! Watch a 1-minute explainer video about what Day of the African Child is and how the CFTC family is getting involved

Your support helps Indigenous youth connect with their food traditions

In your thrive! newsletter, you met Grayce, a budding horticulturalist in Natoaganeg. Read her thoughts on how the local gardens have made a difference to her and her community.

Bonus! Grayce helped film a video of her school garden so you can see what they've grown yourself!

How bees are helping Aliu and his mom thrive in Ghana

Thanks to donor support, Zeena started a new beekeeping business that is bringing in additional income (and delicious honey!). We celebrated their sweet success on World Bee Day.

Bonus! See the other members of Zeena's beekeeping collective and their beehives!

First Comes Food is a podcast by Canadian Feed The Children that explores the surprising ways communities are feeding children and families in the face of a global food crisis.

Join us on our journey through Indigenous food forests in Saskatchewan, arming communities in African countries and early childhood community programs in Bolivia and meet the people who are growing food security for everyone.

In our premiere episode, What's a Food Forest?, you’ll hear about a remarkable partnership that is helping Indigenous families grow their own food. Food Forests are a unique way communities grow their own nutritious food locally, and feed families for generations. We’ll take you to one such food forest in central Saskatchewan and meet the people behind it.

Your partnership has been key to community efforts to feed families during the global food crisis. Listen to learn more about your impact!
