What Is
Tur Mucha Mester Kome

Tur Mucha Mester Kome (TMMK), translating to “Every Child Should Eat”, is a charitable foundation based in Curaçao. Our mission is to provide three nutritious meals daily, year-round, to underprivileged school-going children. Through collaborative efforts with local businesses, government entities, and the local community, we are steadfast in ensuring that no child goes hungry, irrespective of their family circumstances.

TMMK collaborates with skilled professionals to craft meals that are not only wholesome but also delicious, all while maintaining financial sustainability. The foundation is supported by dedicated teachers and social workers who work to assess situations at home, working in conjunction with governmental and partner organizations to develop lasting solutions for those in need in Curaçao.

Why Choose TMMK?

We understand that proper nutrition is fundamental for children’s physical and mental well-being. By nourishing children, we empower them to concentrate on their education and enhance their overall performance, both academically and emotionally.

TMMK views its program as a critical stepping stone to eliminate poverty and hunger from the life-stories of children facing food insecurity at home.

Our aim is to positively shape the futures of these children, free from the shackles of poverty and hunger.

Who Benefits From TMMK?

In Curaçao, nearly 25.1% of the population live below the poverty line, struggling at times to provide adequate meals for their families. Reasearch indicates that approximately 4% of school children lack the necessary nutrition to fully engage in their education.

Right now, our program provides more than 600 children across +30 schools on the island, offering stability, predictability, and safety through in-school meal distribution.
