Build A Permanent Hub to Empower Communities

Dear Donor,

A hungry child cannot always concentrate, participate, or enjoy the full benefits of education. For many children in rural communities, the absence of school meals is a serious challenge that affects their daily learning experience.

Development Alert believes that education and nutrition must go hand in hand. Since 2020, we have supported efforts to address classroom hunger and improve the wellbeing of vulnerable schoolchildren.

One of our important interventions has been supporting the feeding program at St. Bernard Mwenge Primary School in Tororo District. Through generous donor support, food supplies have enabled the school to provide lunch meals to hundreds of children, including a recent additional 400 learners.

These meals help children remain at school during the day without having to leave in search of food. They also provide an opportunity to introduce nutritious and balanced food that supports children's growth and wellbeing.

School feeding can make the school environment more supportive for learners and give parents greater confidence that their children have access to food during school hours. It may also encourage attendance and enrollment, although these outcomes require continued monitoring alongside other educational factors.

Our goal is to help make school meals more reliable and sustainable. This requires consistent food supplies and partnerships with people who believe that no child should have to learn on an empty stomach.

Help us feed another 400 children and reach even more learners. Your donation can help provide food, improve the school experience, and support children's education.

Please donate today. Together, we can nourish young minds while building brighter futures.
