About The Lunchbox Fund The Lunchbox Fund provides impoverished school children in South Africa often their only meal of the day. It is the time for young children and teenagers to grow, and without food, both their physical and mental performance at school is diminished. Lured by school lunches, more children than ever are attending the targeted schools. Staying in school and receiving an education provides one of the best ways of breaking the cycles of poverty and hunger. For more information, visit www.thelunchboxfund.org .
