Healthy Teeth Campaign & Feeding Program - 5th Year (Salvacion Elem. School)


"Healthy Teeth Campaign" will target youngsters through a literacy campaign utilizing outreach through community and school visits. The campaign provides a pair of toothbrush and toothpastes to drive awareness for critical stages of pediatric oral health care. 






            Keep Hope Alive’s Foundation Feeding Program provides a healthy and nutritious meal to students after class is in session.   The food is administered in the school and is sourced locally or regionally.   Students bring their own cups or bowls for their meal.  In addition to providing rice for their children's meals, volunteer to manage the program, build and maintain the kitchen, prepare and distribute the meals,
         The Feeding Program is very popular and loved by students, parents and teachers.  In our pilot school, Salvacion Elementary School, the food is so delicious that students wait for second helpings and make sure that there are no leftovers!
The Feeding Program improves:
1)   Student attendance and retention
2)   Student health and nutrition
3)   Classroom attention and test scores
4)   Parent involvement
