Feeding program menus

Principles

  • Our feeding program’s menus are carefully considered.

  • We consider:

    • the fact that likely it will be the detainee’s most substantial meal of the day

    • the local population’s health tendencies

    • the fact that detainees move less and have less access to sunlight than free citizens

  • We aim for low fat, medium carbohydrate and high protein:

    • low fat: <3g of saturated fat and <30% of calories, and ideally <10g of total fat

    • medium carbohydrate: ideally 45-65% of calories

    • high protein: >25g of protein, and ideally >25% of calories.

  • We aim for less than P50 per portion (pp) excluding rice, which is often donated.

  • We are careful about allergens.

  • And we always cook fresh and serve hot.

  • The ingredients and nutritional details are viewed via the hyperlinks.

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat,
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink…
