The mission of Her Star Scholars is to send girls to school. However, feeding the children is the second part of our mission. Studies have shown that children who are malnourished can suffer permanent brain damage making it harder for them to learn. Common sense tells us that a child with an empty stomach is going to have a harder time concentrating in school.
Thank you for caring enough to help us feed these little ones!
