Current Appeal: Food for Kids

Every day, we are reminded that hunger is not just the absence of food — it is the absence of opportunity, safety and hope.

For too many children in Haiti, Honduras and Malawi, hunger steals the chance to learn, to grow and to dream. But we are also reminded of something else: compassion is powerful. When people like you step forward, a child’s story can change.

At ERDO, we believe every child is created in God’s image and is worthy of nourishment, protection and possibility. Your generosity has already opened doors for thousands of young lives. Today, I invite you to open just one more.

Together, we can turn empty stomachs into full futures — and offer the kind of hope that lasts.

Thank you for standing with us, and with children around the world.

Honduras

On the outskirts of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, families survive on just a few dollars a day. Food insecurity is so severe that gangs lure hungry children with promises of food and money. As a result, too many children leave school long before they reach Grade 9.

With your help, ERDO and our partners at Schools of Hope are changing this reality for students. Every week, 400 children attending after-school tutoring and discipleship programs receive healthy snacks — fruit, yogurt, smoothies and cereal — four times a week.

Good nutrition helps children learn, concentrate and stay in school. We’re also providing monthly food bags to the most vulnerable families so children can continue receiving a nutritious drink at home. A simple healthy snack can keep a child off the streets and in the classroom — right where their future begins.

A gift of $50, or any amount, would help feed the 400 children and keep them active, safe and learning.

Malawi

In Malawi, malnutrition remains one of the greatest threats to a child’s life — especially for children with disabilities. Many of these children are abandoned by their fathers, leaving their mothers to struggle alone. These children require nutritious food to grow, heal and thrive, but often they receive even less than other children in their communities.

Through our partnership with Children of Blessing Trust, we are providing therapeutic food and nutrient-fortified porridge to 600 children living with disabilities who are mildly, moderately or severely malnourished. Mothers who are pregnant or breastfeeding — many malnourished themselves — are also receiving life-sustaining nutritional support.

A child with disabilities deserves the same chance to grow strong, healthy and hopeful. Your compassion can make this possible.

A gift of $35 provides 5 children with a month of therapeutic food.

Haiti

Conflict and unrest in Haiti are impacting young children. Armed gangs have overtaken much of Port-au-Prince, forcing schools, roads and markets to close. Families cannot safely reach food or water. Children arrive at school hungry — and without help, they leave hungry too.

Through our partner at The Fortress School, ERDO is providing a critical lifeline. Each week:

  • 860 students receive a nutritious school meal
  • Children with disabilities receive two meals, plus rice to take home
  • 750 children attending church on Sundays receive a snack and clean water

In total, 1,770 meals are given out every single week. Without this support, many of these children would go an entire day without eating anything at all.

A gift of $100, or any amount, will support this ministry in Haiti.
