Focus: Nutrition · Education · School Retention · Poverty Reduction
We provided regular nutritious meals to vulnerable and economically disadvantaged schoolchildren. The programme helped reduce hunger as a barrier to education and encouraged children who had dropped out or were at risk of dropping out to return to and remain in school.
Key impact: Better attendance, school retention, concentration and participation, while also supporting families facing poverty.
Key message:
Every meal is more than food — it is an opportunity for a child to stay in school and build a better future.
