The porridge program will change the harsh reality of many rural primary candidates who often compete with their peers from more affluent areas. The primary students we work with lack necessities like regular meals and individualized attention. The porridge programs ensure that they are not learning on empty stomachs so that they can focus and learn effectively. This helps level the playing field and empower rural primary candidates to reach their potential.
The porridge program will solve food insecurity and hunger in primary classrooms in our villages. classrooms often have fewer resources like textbooks, technology, and qualified teachers; we hope our tutoring programs solve limited resources and achievement gaps. These conditions do not give hope to the students who count on education as the catalyst that changes their lives. This project will give hope and confidence to the students as well as teachers who are enthusiastic about education.
The Porridge Program ensures that the primary students are not only learning on empty stomachs but that their classrooms, as well as teachers, are equipped with the resources and support they need to help the students prepare for their Primary Leaving Exams.
The extra tutoring support and free meals empower our students, especially when it comes to their primary leaving exams and deciding whether to further their education. In addition to nutrition education, Access to a balanced diet food also positively impacts their mental health, wellness, and development, turning them into strong women and men who give back to their communities.
