Food for Thought- Feed Schoolchildren in Uganda
Uganda  Education
In the US, many of us take basic education and a hot meal for granted. At MCF, our goal is to provide these necessities to Ugandan children, one school at a time. Our innovative 10:30 porridge program addresses the underlying cause of low attendance & high dropout rates by providing a hot meal a day for schoolchildren. Using this approach, we give parents an immediate, tangible reason to keep their children enrolled, while at the same time "providing a means & belief in self to escape poverty." project reportread updates from the field
