Education is a symbol of hope for Palestinian children growing up in very dark times. Breakfast is important to get the best out of a school day so starting with the youngest and most vulnerable we are serving a free school breakfasts each school day morning.
With the vicious crackdown in the West Bank continuing and severe limitations on movement, with many parents out of work, schoolchildren are suffering from lack of food. A full stomach is essential for their education. The Olive Harvest Trust, with the help of teachers on the ground are now serving nutritious breakfasts to the youngest grades 1-4.
As of June, 234 children are getting a free meal to set them up for the day.
We aim to provide excellent nutrition at low cost and continue this project as long as necessary.
Breakfasts would be:
- Pita bread with labneh, cucumber and za’atar
- Boiled egg, hummus, tomato and olive oil
- Lentil soup with a bread roll and dates
- Local cheese sandwich with olives
- Falafel pita with tomato & tahini sauce

April 2026: School breakfasts have started!
We are delighted to announce that our project to supply nutritious, free breakfasts to schoolchildren in Madama finally started in mid-April 2026.
The preparation was protracted due to bureaucratic hold-ups, but the perseverance by our founder, Maggie, paid off. 235 pupils will receive these meals three days a week, freshly cooked by helpers who manage miraculously on two gas rings.
