More than half of Jamaica’s population experienced food insecurity between 2021 and 2023; the number of food-insecure people in Haiti has tripled since 2016. With this project, longtime BGR partner Trees That Feed Foundation (TTFF) provides nutrient-rich and hearty breadfruit-based food to schoolchildren in these two countries. In some cases these are the only meals the children eat all day.
This project will provide nutritious breadfruit-based meals to 1,700 schoolchildren. In addressing hunger and education, TTFF also supports the local economy and improves climate resilience in the region by promoting the planting of breadfruit trees and the processing of the crops. The project also provides educational materials to students whose schools participate in the breadfruit breakfast program.
