Where we work
Over 66 million children attend classes every day hungry
We feed over 12,000 children each week and have an immediate wait-list of over 2,500 children and millions more who face daily hunger.
Countries we serve
Who we are
Millions of children start their school day hungry.
The moms replied with a promise of a banana to 250 children that has grown into the delivery of more than 12,000 nutritional meals a week to school children in Bangladesh and the Philippines.
While Thrive began as an expat start-up, it’s growth springs from the generous commitment of local and international supporters.
Our aim is to give schoolchildren the best start to their day and their future; brain fuel!
