About Hornalan Elementary School
For the farming families surrounding Hornalan Elementary in Laguna, climate-driven droughts and floods make a monthly income of US$100 highly unpredictable. Historically, students frequently missed class to help harvest rice, root crops, and coconuts just to keep their families afloat. Since Thrive stepped in with daily school meals, attendance has dramatically stabilized to 98%, evidence that guaranteed nutritious meals is the key to keeping vulnerable children in school.
