H.O.P.E. For Tomorrow was also able to:
Feed 307 students between January 2022 - June 2023,
Added protein and vegetables to K-Primary School student meals (added to starch and stew they received before the start of the Initiative),
Hire more than 5 community members to assist with farming, cooking for Junior High School students, and the building of a poultry farm, and

Donate 178 lunch boxes and water bottles, and
Contribute towards a water structure for the garden.
The school had a 23% increase in school registration within 6 months of initiative implementation. It was also reported that class attendance improved because students were receiving meals 5 days a week.
