Drew Barrymore's Mission
In Nairobi, Drew helped dish out lunches to children in the Kibera slums. She says her reason for focusing on school feeding is simple.
"School feeding not only fills stomachs, but has a proven track record of boosting enrollment, attendance and academic performance," she says. "For just pennies a day per child, this program changes lives—and ultimately can impact the futures of poor countries around the world in a profound way."
