The benefits of breakfast

Starting the day well is important, especially for growing minds and bodies. That’s why Oxfam Australia supports Doomadgee State School to run a healthy breakfast program for local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. Your gift helps provide one child with fresh fruit, bread, milk, juice and muesli for a month, and helps increase their attendance and concentration at school.

How does this gift help?

Doomadgee is a remote Aboriginal community of around 1,000 people, near the north-west Queensland and Northern Territory border. It has a high percentage of children and young people growing up in poverty, with poor health, little education, high levels of community violence and limited prospects for a happy and safe future. Oxfam Australia supports Doomadgee State School in Far North Queensland to run a healthy breakfast program for local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. Your gift helps provide one child with fresh fruit, toast, milk, and cereal for a month to help increase their attendance and concentration at school. “Some kids have breakfast at home, some don’t. I’ve seen a change in the kids. More are going to school. This program is good for the community and good for the kids.” Uncle Ila, Mornington Island Elder.
