In celebration of World Vegan Month last November, SIFCare, in partnership with Vegans of Manila, visited 10 schools on November 28 to provide nutritious meals to undernourished students. 588 plant-based burgers, Monggo burgers, were distributed during the event. This initiative aims not only to address immediate nutritional concerns but also to promote healthy eating habits from a young age.

The success of these efforts is owed to the dedicated volunteers who played a crucial role in preparing and distributing the plant-based burgers. Their commitment is helping pave the way for a healthier future for the younger generation, fostering a conscious and compassionate world.

Special thanks to the Philippine Air Force and local volunteers for their assistance. Principals and teachers, for their warm welcome. We extend our gratitude to Vegans of Manila for sponsoring this feeding program. And a big thank you to the students who enjoyed the plant-based burgers!
