Breakfast Centre

Young children may go for days without a real meal in the communities where UHF works. Weakened by chronic hunger, a child’s body becomes vulnerable to diseases like pneumonia and diarrhea. Many of these children die. Others survive but suffer developmental delays that impact the rest of their lives. Emergency and supplemental food can make an enormous difference. In Vihiga, UHF is providing nutritious, protein, mineral and vitamins-rich healthy breakfast and food supplements to children and orphans who are infected with HIV or whose mothers died as a result of HIV and AIDS.

In addition, we also support and provide;

  • A nutritious breakfast and a protein and vitamin-rich lunch every day to children aged three and under.
  • Morning porridge for babies cared for by local women in their homes.
  • Daily lunches for little boys and girls attending local preschools.
  • Nutritious meals for young boys and girls each day during school holidays.
  • Eggs and milk to severely underweight infants and children.
  • Emergency food to young children and families in crisis.
