A nutritious breakfast is vital for all participants in our program, as it replenishes energy stores and provides essential nutrients. This directly impacts academic performance, concentration, and overall health and wellness. Women need a balanced breakfast to help avoid hunger and prevent collapsing due to low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which can affect hormonal health and the intake of key nutrients like iron and calcium.<\/p>\n<p>Food insecurity and financial constraints affect a substantial number of women, making them a vulnerable group. Many experience food insecurity, at times coming to class feeling very weak. This was highlighted by a young woman who collapsed and was found to be hypoglycemic; when she recovered and was asked about it, she revealed that she had not eaten for three days due to a lack of food.
