Funding our nutrition program

At Yipirinya School, we believe every child deserves to learn on a full stomach.

Every day, our students arrive at school carrying their hopes and dreams, but too often, they do so on an empty stomach. Many of our families face complex and compounding challenges, with food insecurity being a daily reality for many children. . For these students, our school’s nutrition program isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.

Yipirinya receives no direct government funding for our kitchen or nutrition program. That means the meals we provide—breakfast, lunch, and snacks for over 200 children every school day and are made possible entirely through the generosity of donors and partners.

And what a difference it makes.

Our meals are prepared on-site by a small team, using fresh ingredients and a lot of heart. We serve warm, healthy food that fuels learning. Without this program, many of our students would go without.
