We at MOM TO MANY KIDS ONLINE STORE believe in giving back. We do so through the Early Childhood Development Project we’ve implemented through our NPO.
CURRENT/ONGOING PROJECT – NOMPUMELELO EARLY CHILHOOD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Since the start of the new school year of 2021 we have been fortunate to partner with a school in the community, we serve the children in the foundation phase a cup of nutrionally packed soup every Tuesday Morning, before they start the school day.
Practical implentation (Areas where we require assistance)
*We currently serve one (1) wholesome meal (with vegetables and a protein) for children up to the age of 13 years – for 1 day per week – we would like to see this increase
Why do we do a vegetable feed for children at this Developmental (Foundation) stage?
The challenges which are faced by parents and caregivers aiming to provide growing children with basic nutritional and psychological needs are in critical shortage in the home.
Children between the ages of 0-8 years are at the most crucial stage of development and growth in terms of their emotional, cognitive and physiological health. A child who has not received the vital nutrients and supplements which are found in vegetable’s, display huge Developmental delays in later on life.
The brain of a young child is not able to develop as it should without the nutrients found in vegetables and this is the reason why we see children display the effects of trauma, such anger issues and stunted growth in later years
We aim to assist and supplement the children’s nutritional needs by providing a nutritionally-packed breakfast smoothie to the children who are in need with the purpose of assisting their good Development and growth while at the same time encouraging a balanced diet for the children. We also assist with basic needs and trauma counselling.
