Charity Spotlight
Lunches for Learning, Inc.


Mission:

Lunches for Learning exists to break the cycle of poverty in rural Honduras by providing a healthy lunch to elementary school children every school day at their school; thereby allowing these children to stay in school so they can complete their education and enter the workforce as literate individuals.

Fast Facts:

• Founded in 2004

• More than 1,700 children are fed a nutritious lunch at 33 rural elementary and middle schools in the Valle District of Honduras.

• Without these meals, many of the children in this community would go without any food at all on most days. Many (up to 30% each year) would begin dropping out of school in order to search for or work for food on a daily basis.

• The school’s dropout rate has dropped from more than 30% each year to essentially zero.

• RRC has initiated and continues to promote an annual fundraiser, known as Hearts for Honduras, which has raised over $20,000 in each of the first three years of its existence to help Lunches for Learning meet their operational costs.
