Kenya is one of the world’s 30 poorest countries, with more than half the country’s population living below the poverty line. In Northeast Kenya, this is especially the case where there is twice the relative poverty headcount and people suffer from poor infrastructure, low literacy and limited access to health care.
Imam al-Sadiq (as) said: “One of the things which gives one obligatory entrance into paradise and forgiveness is feeding a starving person,” then he went on to recite the verse of Allah in the Qur’an: “or feeding (the needy) on a day of starvation.”
The World Federation’s ‘Fill My Cup – Back to School Campaign’ addresses hunger among 3,968 school children in Kenya by providing them with a hot and nutritional porridge breakfast each morning. Since the start of this campaign, we have filled over 50,000 empty cups with porridge.
Please help us fill another 50,000 by asking your family, friends, community members and madrasahs to support this program. Watch and share this short video and become ambassadors of these hopeful children who are counting on our generosity. The children we help come from families who cannot even afford a simple breakfast.
Your support means everything!

Many children living in the rural areas of Kenya only have a single meal a day. The excessive poverty level, the rising rate of inflation, and the lack of adequate rainfall all make it very difficult for parents to provide a balanced meal 3 times a day for their children.
