Challenge

Very few children have a meal before they come to school, this means that pupils leave home hungry; they stay at school hungry, since the schools do not provide meals, and only eat in the evening when they go back home. Many families cannot afford to pack for children lunch which is a requirement for the Universal Primary Education (UPE) schools.

Solution

We have been providing 300 kilograms of maize flour to enable pupils have porridge for lunch. Our plan is to introduce a Community School feeding programme in which schools take a lead in producing food for children to eat while at school. Each class grows a different type of food and later the whole school feeds on the different types of food.

Long-Term Impact

One Primary school in Mpigi District is a pilot school, it worked out, we will then scale up the programme to cover 10 other schools in the District.
