The food we give them helps to ease and eradicate hunger in disadvantaged homes,\u201d said Alime.<\/p>\n<p>Since the organisation does not receive many donations, Alime said they had been experiencing many financial challenges and had to skip meals on days when they did not have any food to cook.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hate having to skip meals. It is not easy seeing those lovely kids being disappointed, because we know that we are their only hope,\u201d said Alime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing to school hungry can cause children to feel stressed because they are not able to remain focused. Providing them with a meal to eat in the morning before they go to school helps them focus and puts smiles on their faces.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Alime said they were currently running this initiative with limited resources and fear that they might be running out of means to continue with the project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo continue helping those in need we hope and pray that our soup kitchen will receive more donations and support. We would appreciate any form of donations which include food parcels or vouchers to continue with this project,\u201d said Alime.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For more information, contact Alime Dayimani on 067
