Celebrating And Collaborating Together For Women’s Success

Today, Breakfast Club of Canada celebrates women! Women who wake up before dawn to take a few minutes to work out before the morning routine starts. Women who put their careers aside to care for their children. Women who work all day long only to start their second shift when they get home in the evening, taking care of their family in the home they built. Women who are volunteers in breakfast clubs, ensuring thousands of children have the energy they need to learn every day. And our two vice-presidents who work with passion and devotion every day to allow as many children as possible to reach their full potential.

 

Women play a big part in our organization, representing 83% of the staff. The same trend prevails in school nutrition programs, which are often run by women (teachers, cooks, monitors, volunteers, etc.) who have access to tools, support and capacity development opportunities. It is not uncommon for many of these social leaders to access higher levels of employment or re-enter the labor market.

By alleviating the morning routine, Breakfast Club of Canada promotes a healthy work-life balance. This viewpoint is shared by many of the participants in the Global Child Nutrition Forum who reported that school nutrition programs promote gender equality.

We would like to thank all the women who are instrumental to our organization and contribute to the well-being of children.

Happy International Women’s Day!
