Queensland has the highest poverty rate in Australia, with one in five children attending school without any food. Additionally, 32% of households with children experience food insecurity, and a staggering 40% of single-parent homes go without food at least once a week.
Currently, over half of school children face learning difficulties and behavioural challenges. Teachers report that hunger causes students to lose up to two hours of learning each day due to fatigue and difficulty concentrating. Over the course of a year, this adds up to more than an entire term of lost learning.
Providing healthy, nutritious lunches can significantly improve children’s concentration and mental well-being, helping them learn more effectively. When kids feel confident, they’re happier—and a happy child is ready to thrive!
