Report
Orders, participation and monthly implementation are documented for responsible program management.
Meals do more than ease hunger. They help children return to school, stay in class and protect their health.
Schools report stronger attendance and enrolment after regular meals are introduced. Local food purchasing and preparation can also create employment for women and strengthen community supply chains.
“Children no longer come to class hungry. They look forward to school every day.” — Program school teacher, 2025
