What is it all about? ESTC is a global dinner party which takes place on the weekend of October 19-20th to raise money for vulnerable women and children around the world. What is Eat So They Can? ESTC is GVN Foundation’s largest annual fundraiser and is in its sixth year. GVN Foundation is a non- profit organization with UN consultative status.

Who Eat So Who Can? The funds raised through Eat So They Can are used to support 3 main causes: - Feeding Projects - Sustainability Projects - Greatest Need

Feeding Projects Funds raised for this cause will be used towards projects which support children’s immediate nutritional needs.

Nutrition for Change Sacred Valley, Peru PROJECT: Our partner’s Nutrition for Change program provides a daily lunch to 400 school children.

Sustainability Projects Funds raised for this cause will be used to provide grants that will assist our projects in becoming more sustainable. The types of projects supported through this cause include animal projects and income- generating projects.

PROJECT: Women are given training then gifted cows as a means of income generation and family nutrition and wellbeing. 7 cows have been distributed in the last 2 years and first born calves are donated to another group member Women’s Group, Kitoola, Uganda
