TEL International is making a profound impact by focusing on the essential need of feeding children in the community schools we partner with. The goal is not only to provide nourishment but to also promote regular school attendance, enhance academic performance, and ensure that growing bodies have the nutrition they need to thrive. Many of the children we serve rely on the meals provided at school as their only source of food for the day, highlighting the critical role that school-based feeding programs play in their lives.
Our feeding and nutrition program addresses the issue of hunger in a controlled and supportive environment, where children are able to receive a nutritious meal that enables them to focus and perform better in their studies. Hunger is one of the most significant barriers to learning, and by providing consistent meals, we help to eliminate this obstacle, allowing children to fully engage with their education. When children are well-fed, they are more able to concentrate, retain information, and participate in class activities, all of which contribute to their overall academic success and development.
Beyond the school setting, TEL International also extends its efforts to support orphaned children who are in desperate need of food and care. In many regions, orphan care programs exist to provide shelter, education, and emotional support to children who have lost their parents. However, even the most well-established programs often struggle to meet the nutritional needs of these vulnerable children due to resource constraints. TEL International steps in to offer assistance, ensuring that orphans in these programs receive the sustenance they need to stay healthy and strong. Our approach to supporting orphan care involves partnering with organizations that have a proven track record of effectively meeting the emotional, physical, and educational needs of orphans. These organizations may have the capacity to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children but face challenges when it comes to food provision. By stepping in to fill this gap, TEL International helps ensure that the most vulnerable children are not only cared for but also properly nourished.
This dual focus—feeding schoolchildren to enhance their learning experience and supporting orphan care programs to improve the health and wellbeing of vulnerable children—underpins TEL International’s broader mission to fight hunger and promote education. Through these initiatives, we are not only tackling immediate nutritional needs but also empowering children with the foundation they need to build a better future for themselves and their communities.
Our work is driven by the belief that every child deserves access to healthy food, quality education, and a chance to succeed in life. By addressing hunger and supporting education, TEL International is helping children break the cycle of poverty and reach their full potential, ensuring that they are equipped to thrive academically, physically, and emotionally.
