Nutrition to Support Learning

The Horace Academy provides two free nutritious meals a day (breakfast and lunch), Monday to Friday, to ensure that our students receive proper nutrition. These meals are prepared with locally sourced ingredients to support local farmers and promote a sustainable food system.

A healthful balanced diet provides the essential nutrients that children need for energy, growth, and the development of strong bones, muscles, and organs. Nutrient-rich foods also support brain function, improving concentration, memory, and the ability to learn in the classroom. Healthy eating habits formed during these early years help set the foundation for a lifetime of good nutrition and can prevent long-term health issues such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Additionally, well-nourished children are better able to engage in physical activities, leading to improved social skills and emotional stability.

Horace Academy is committed to providing free quality education and holistic development opportunities to underprivileged children in Liberia. Through our inclusive and nurturing environment, coupled with the provision of free nutritious meals, we aim to empower our students and break the cycle of poverty. With a strong team and we are confident that Horace Academy will make a significant difference in the lives of the children we serve and contribute to the development of Liberia. Horace Academy is developing tomorrow’s leaders, today.
