Help us feed hungry children today!
School lunch is not only a regular hot meal for children, but also a social event. We ensure that all children have an access to it.
The project was established by Ms. Ivana Tykač, director of WOMEN FOR WOMEN, o.p.s., on September 12, 2013, following a report aired on Czech Television’s program 168 Hours (Sunday, September 8, 2013) about children who are unable to attend school lunches.
The Lunches for Children project operates nationwide, with primary schools or independent school canteens as our partners. We do not provide financial contributions directly to families. Each application is addressed individually in collaboration with the primary school. To join the project, schools must register in the "For Schools" section. School principals, in cooperation with teachers, identify children in need based on their professional experience. Assistance is provided directly through primary schools under a donation agreement, ensuring the lunches reach the children without further complicating their parents’ situation or allowing the assistance to be misused.
W4W: Lunches for Children; why have we launched the project?
The Lunches for Children project, implemented with the support of the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports, is one of the initiatives by WOMEN FOR WOMEN, o.p.s. (W4W). The organization supports families facing challenging life situations they are unable to resolve on their own. Join us in helping them!
The aim of the W4W: Lunches for Children project is to help children whose parents cannot afford to pay for their children's lunches in school canteens. For these children, school canteen lunches can often be the only regular hot meal a day.
Thanks to the project, the children will not only get the healthy and balanced diet they need during their growing years, but they will also be protected against exclusion from their classmates - the school lunch is an important social event for children.
