Energy for the day: "denkbar" school breakfasts at Bavarian schools
For equal opportunities in education: The "denkbar" breakfast project
In an ideal world, every child should start the school day well fed. But the reality is different. Many children, especially those from socially disadvantaged families, do not have a sufficient breakfast in the morning. This is precisely where the "denkbar" project from BLLV-Kinderhilfe comes in. With the help of dedicated volunteers, it ensures that children can start the day full and invigorated. The aim? To give children a fair chance at education and success.
A good start to the day
A healthy breakfast is more than just a meal - it is the basis for a successful day. It gives energy, promotes concentration and ensures that children can reach their full potential. But in Bavaria, one in five children starts the school day without breakfast. This is often not only due to the financial situation of families, but also to a lack of time, knowledge or routine. The consequences are serious: without sufficient nutrition, children suffer from poor concentration, become tired more quickly and have difficulty following lessons.
Being able to concentrate on the essentials
The school breakfast project "denkbar" offers a simple but effective solution to this problem. It is currently being implemented at around 150 schools in Bavaria. Volunteers prepare lovingly prepared breakfast buffets for the children every morning. It's not just about filling up - attention is also paid to a healthy, balanced diet. In addition, breakfast offers a relaxed atmosphere in which the children can find peace and quiet before the school day begins. The pupils experience a sense of security and community here, which helps them to start the day in a balanced and motivated way.

Doing good together
Donations are essential to ensure that the "denkbar" project continues to run successfully. These are used directly for the procurement of food. The volunteers who organize and supervise the breakfasts work free of charge. The administration of the donations is also handled entirely by the BLLV. This ensures that every euro goes directly to the children.
During the Christmas season, the Advent calendar of good deeds of the BayWa Foundation supports the project in a special way. For every donation received during this period, BayWa AG doubles the amount. This means that 200 percent of the donation goes to the project and even more children can benefit from a nutritious breakfast. You can find more information on the official website of the Advent calendar: Advent calendar of good deeds.
