Join “One Light for Africa,” a visionary campaign led by Caina Cadie, a research project from CIRAS, in partnership with Mary’s Meals to end child hunger in Africa. By blending art, advocacy, and transdisciplinary solutions, this initiative delivers life-changing meals to children, empowering their health, education, and futures. Your support lights the way for systemic change, one meal at a time.
How It Works
Proceeds from Caina Cadie’s compelling artwork and merchandise sales directly fund Mary’s Meals’ school feeding programs. Your membership—monthly or one-time ensures children in Africa’s most vulnerable communities receive nutritious meals, supporting their learning and growth. Guided by CIRAS’s transdisciplinary protocol for societal transformation, the campaign partners with global and local organizations to create sustainable, impactful solutions.
Impact
By joining, you combat child hunger, affecting over 60 million African children, and foster transformative change. Meals boost health, school attendance, and opportunities, breaking poverty cycles. Examples include:
- In Kenya, Mary’s Meals feeds 300,000+ children daily, increasing school enrollment by 30% and enabling kids like Peter, a 12-year-old aspiring engineer, to pursue education.
- In Ethiopia, feeding programs have reduced malnutrition rates by 15%, empowering children to focus on studies and dream of careers in medicine or teaching. Your contribution fuels hope, aligning with CIRAS’s mission to drive systemic societal progress through collaborative action.
