His School Gave Faisal a Lifeline

Here is just one of the more than 3.5 million Afghan toddlers who require nutritional support.

Meet Faisal, a 10-year-old boy from Kabul.

Like many people in Afghanistan, Faisal's father struggles to find job and takes any available opportunities to work as a porter. However, the family struggles to make ends meet and cannot even manage to treat Faisal's ill mother due to the lack of funds.

Food is his answer.

Faisal is able to receive education and grow up healthily thanks to regular, well-balanced school lunches. But more than that, it also lessens the family's financial burden, enabling his mother to buy medicine and his siblings to consume more.
