The Origin

Why We Started

Stephen Lee established the foundation after witnessing how hunger directly impacted classroom focus. In Bermuda, the gap in daily nutritional security often remains hidden, yet it shapes a child's entire future academically, dealing with lifestyle illness and their quality of life.

By delivering balanced morning meals and structured athletic tutoring, we replace hunger with stamina. Every initiative is designed to build the physical and mental confidence students need to succeed.

Meet Our Founder

Hafid James founded The Stephen Lee Helping Hands Foundation after witnessing how poor nutrition was affecting children's ability to learn and thrive.

As a professional bodybuilder, nutritionist, health coach, and community advocate, he believes every child deserves access to healthy food because proper nutrition builds stronger bodies, healthier minds, and brighter futures.

What began as providing nutritious meals has grown into a broader mission of empowering Bermuda's youth through nutrition education, athletics, and literacy.
