Growing up in Jamaica, I experienced firsthand the struggles of starting the school day on an empty stomach. Coming from a family with limited resources, a healthy breakfast was often out of reach. I remember the difficulty of focusing in class, knowing hunger was standing between me and my education.
These experiences left an indelible mark, shaping my empathy for children facing similar challenges today. Kroun was born from this story — a commitment to ensure no child has to fight hunger in the classroom.
