ASIA LUNCHBOX
FUND

In 2017, Calls Over Ridges initiated the Lunch Box Program in Nepal, integrating actions to eliminate hunger in the field of education. In 2021, we established the Asia Lunchbox Fund, transcending nutritional support across borders to aid the healthy development of children in multiple countries.

Trained Local Cooks

We recriut, train and help manage the kitchen staff,
ensuring that they own the necessary culinary skills, nutrition knowledge, and sanitary awareness.

Sustainable Evaluating System

We track a number of key indicators, including children’s height-to-age ratio, weight-to-age ratio, and afternoon attendance, in order to make lasting impacts.

School-Owned Central Kitchens

We construct central kitchens, invest in other infrastructures on campus and train the school staff to help implement and maintain the program.

Meal Plans Developed With Nutritionists

We partner closely with local nutritionists to devise nutritious and varied meal plans that help children develop positive dietary habits.

Ingrediants Straight From Home

We incoporate parents’ agriculturul products into the school meal program as a way to support both the kids and the local community.
