Every child deserves a healthy start in life — yet many schoolchildren in Thailand still face undernutrition, despite increased government lunch subsidies. FOOD FOR GOOD is a nationwide initiative dedicated to improving child nutrition by empowering schools with knowledge, resources, and sustainable food systems.

FOOD FOR GOOD's vision is to ensure that every child, no matter where they live, has access to meals that nourish both body and mind.

—----------------------

Although the Thai government has increased the school lunch budget to 22–36 THB per student per day (depending on school size), many schools—particularly small or remote ones—continue to struggle. These challenges include:

1. Hidden costs such as food transportation and storage

2. Limited access to fresh, nutritious ingredients

3. A shortage of trained personnel to manage school nutrition programs

Without proper guidance and resources, schools cannot consistently provide children with meals that meet their nutritional needs. This leads to widespread undernutrition, which affects children's growth, learning, and long-term health.

FOOD FOR GOOD is committed to creating a sustainable solution to child malnutrition by building the capacity of schools to manage their own food and nutrition systems.

The 4 Goods Model:

1. Good Knowledge: Train teachers and cooks in child nutrition and meal planning. We provide expert mentorship and create easy-to-follow guides to ensure continuity in nutrition practices at schools.

2. Good Food: Support under-resourced schools with funding to buy high-quality ingredients, improve clean water access, and ensure that every child receives complete and balanced meals.

3. Good Farm: Help schools grow their safe food and establish revolving food funds to build long-term food security and reduce dependence on external sources.

4. Good Health: Collaborate with schools and local health officials to monitor students’ nutrition levels and implement early interventions when signs of malnutrition are detected.

Every 2,000 THB you donate helps train one teacher to provide nutritious meals for one child throughout a school term. Your contribution empowers schools to improve meal quality, grow their own food, and build sustainable nutrition systems—ensuring children across Thailand can grow up healthy, strong, and ready to learn.
