Our Causes
The Jochebed Meril Foundation is dedicated to creating impactful changes in communities through various causes. Each cause is designed to address specific needs, ensuring that assistance and resources are provided to those most in need. Here’s a detailed look at our key causes:
Carry My Education
Carry My Education is a sponsorship project aimed at supporting vulnerable and underprivileged school-going children from impoverished families. The initiative focuses on encouraging their educational journey by providing each sponsored child with a school bag and a pair of shoes. This tangible support not only aids in their educational endeavors but also serves as a motivational tool, reinforcing the importance and value of education. When you choose to sponsor a child through this program, your contribution directly impacts their ability to pursue and remain committed to their educational goals.
School Library
The School Library project is another pivotal sponsorship opportunity designed to enrich grassroots schools with essential educational materials and books. This initiative alleviates the financial burden on parents and provides students with valuable resources to enhance their learning experience. Access to a wide range of information aids in their academic studies and contributes to their overall life knowledge. Sponsoring a child or school through this program extends beyond just financial support; it’s an investment in the educational foundation and future of the community’s youth.
Sanitary Towels
Recognizing the challenges many schoolgirls face, the Foundation has established a cause dedicated to providing Sanitary Towels. The lack of access to sanitary products, coupled with limited information on menstrual hygiene, often leads to embarrassment, absenteeism from school, and diminished self-esteem among girls. By contributing to this cause, donors facilitate the provision of essential sanitary products and educational resources on menstrual health and hygiene. This support empowers girls to manage their menstrual cycles with dignity and confidence, ensuring they can continue their education uninterrupted.
Healthy Juicy Smile
Healthy Juicy Smile is a unique school feeding and nutrition program that focuses on the daily provision of a variety of fruits to children at school. Recognizing the critical role of fruits in a child’s diet—rich in vitamins, high in fiber, and a natural source of energy—this program aims to enhance children’s physical growth, cognitive development, and overall well-being. Donations to this cause contribute to fostering healthy eating habits, supporting weight management, and encouraging a taste for a variety of nutritious foods. By donating, you’re not just providing a piece of fruit; you’re investing in the health and happiness of future generations.
Through these carefully crafted causes, the Jochebed Meril Foundation strives to address immediate needs while laying the groundwork for long-term positive outcomes in the lives of children and their communities.
