Six months ago, Obor Berkat Indonesia launched the Free Nutritious Breakfast Program for young children in underprivileged areas. Now, every morning, bright smiles appear on these kids’ faces—all thanks to the healthy meals you help provide!
One of the children benefiting from this program is Meylani Hosana Adu, a 3-year-old girl whose parents are fish vendors in Karisin.
Six months ago, her breakfast was just plain rice porridge. She was tiny, only 89 cm tall, and growing slowly. She was also extremely shy and barely interacted with her friends at preschool.
Ms. Yacoba said, “Before this program, Meylani had a hard time adapting. She preferred to be alone and wasn’t confident when asked to speak in front of the class.”
But everything changed when OBI’s Free Nutritious Breakfast Program started at PAUD Glorya Efrata Karisin. Every morning, kids now get healthy meals that not only fill their tummies but also give them the energy to learn and play.
“I love eating boiled eggs, meat, and drinking milk at school,” Meylani said happily.
Thanks to you, Meylani’s height has increased to 93 cm. But it’s not just about physical growth—her confidence has blossomed too! She now actively plays with her friends and even leads prayers in front of the class.
Meylani and 29 other kids at PAUD Efrata Karisin have experienced real change from these daily meals. OBI remains committed to ensuring proper nutrition for young children so they can grow up strong and confident.
Now that Phase 1 is complete, PAUD Efrata Karisin will continue receiving Nutritious Breakfasts in Phase 2. This time, OBI is focusing on protein intake to boost children’s height growth, in collaboration with Fatukanutu Health Center.
We believe big changes often start with small acts. Your support is a vital part of these kids’ journeys. Let’s keep this going—help bring more smiles and hope every morning!
