Giving Kids A Brighter Start To Their Day

It might surprise you to know that many New Zealand children go to school every day of every week without having eaten breakfast. It certainly surprised us here at GRA to learn this.

Somehow this reality doesn’t sit with the image that most of us have of New Zealand. We’re supposed to be a country where our children can live a relatively safe life, full of fun and laughter. Sadly this isn’t the case for many Kiwi children. Lots of children go to school every day of the week without even having a piece of toast for breakfast.

We don’t think children should be in this position. That’s why we’ve decided to create this charity and donate funds to the worthy cause of feeding children breakfast.

We aren’t only donating funds either. We’re volunteering our time as well. We make trips to schools in the early hours of the morning to help our Kiwi Kids get the best start to the day they possibly can.

Why do we do this? Simple. Well feed children learn better. A nation that has educated children has strong growth prospects. So by ensuring our children have breakfast each day, we build a strong future for them and for our country.

Want to help us feed our children and build New Zealand’s future? All it takes is a tablespoon of kindness a day.
