Strengthening Children, Families & Communities — Locally and Globally
Strengthening Families, Building Hope
The Nourish & Learn Initiative is a signature program of the National Foundation For Hope dedicated to uplifting communities through holistic wellness, emotional resilience, leadership development, nutrition support, and creative education. Our mission is to strengthen the human family by giving every child and parent the tools needed to thrive — mentally, emotionally, and socially.
Program Pathways
Nourish & Learn operates in two core areas:
U.S. Local Program
Supporting families and children in underserved Salt Lake County communities with wellness workshops, parent leadership training, emotional development, and school-based engagement events.
International Program
Delivering nutrition support, educational materials, sanitation training, and leadership development to vulnerable children and communities across West Africa and developing regions.

Creativity & Expression
Encouraging imagination, confidence, and communication through the arts and storytelling.
Family Empowerment
Providing tools and support that strengthen parents, caregivers, and the family unit.
Cultural Awareness & Respect
