Short Summary

Every year thousands of Mangyan families are negatively impacted by the hunger months of July, August and September. This is the time in between harvest seasons with heavy rains which leave our communities prone to damaged crops, mudslides and limited access to resources as we are located in remote villages within and along the mountains of Mindoro Island. The most impacted are the students who do not have a reliable food source during their studies — which negatively impacts their performance. As a way to remedy this issue “Rice 4 Kidz” was created by Lugao Kasberg in partnership with Project: Barkada. The goal is simple — we will get our staple food, rice — to Mangyan elementary schools to help create a school lunch program for those schools most impacted. We believe no child should ever go hungry and we believe in the importance of education to transform the world into a better place. We invite you to help us end world hunger by sponsoring a sack of rice!
