We love Life Vision Academy because it’s home to all of our happy, playing, growing children. They’re getting bigger every day, and so is our school — we have almost 100 kids at home and we want to reach 200 soon.
Like all kids, our kids love to eat, and like all caregivers, we want to make sure they are happily fed with tasty, nutritious food every day. Food is one of our largest regular costs, and we rely on donors like you to make sure we always have food on the table. We buy organic, locally-grown food and we grow our own organic produce as much as we can.
Our team has transparently outlined our entire food budget for the year, and below we have provided sample budgets from two months at our school. If you would like more information about where we source our food and how we break down our budget, send us an email at info@cyfnepal.org.
Can you help us serve a healthy meal to a hungry child?
