Buk bilong Pikinini (BBP) has announced the continuation of its Breakfast Program with support from Sanitarium, Australian Export Consortia and Market 2000, providing more than K200,000 worth of breakfast supplies to support children’s nutrition and learning.

The partnership will supply Weet-Bix and So Good Oat Milk to three of BbP’s Library Learning Centres, ensuring 250 students receive a healthy and nutritious breakfast every school morning.

The initiative forms part of Buk bilong Pikinini’s Nutrition Education Program, which is integrated into the organisation’s curriculum and delivered across its 20 Library Learning Centres nationwide.

 The program aims to promote healthy eating habits while supporting early childhood education, particularly for children from vulnerable communities who may not consistently have access to balanced meals.

BbP marked the continuation of the program with a special event on Friday, 13 March 2026 at one of its Library Learning Centres, where students enjoyed a nutritious breakfast before taking part in interactive activities designed to demonstrate the benefits of proper nutrition on learning and physical responsiveness.

PNG Country Manager for Australian Export Consortia, Tarin McManus, said the partnership was rewarding to see in action.

“This partnership with BbP is so rewarding. Seeing the students active and bright after having a healthy Weet-Bix and So Good breakfast is a sight to behold. It’s important for their mental and physical development.”

BbP Founder and Vice Chair Anne-Sophie Hermann thanked the partners for their continued support, noting that proper nutrition plays a key role in children’s ability to learn.

“This support goes far beyond providing breakfast—it is an investment in a child’s future. When children arrive nourished and energised, we see the difference immediately in their confidence, concentration and enthusiasm to learn.”

Through the renewed partnership, 250 students across three Library Learning Centres will continue receiving a daily nutritious breakfast, supporting both their wellbeing and academic success.
