About Hamida Memorial School

In Jongra, Lalmonirhat, severe drought and land loss have crippled traditional agriculture. Local families survive mostly on irregular day labor and farm work, earning a modest BDT 13,000–15,000 (US$110 - $125) a month.. Thrive meals have kept attendance high in the school since 2024, with average monthly attendance at 95%

Why School Meals?

School meals are a vital lifeline. In the communities we serve, there is no backup—without these daily meals, hunger takes over and learning suffers. By providing reliable, daily nutrition, you fuel children’s education, support their physical and cognitive development, and help entire communities lift themselves up.
