Feeding program enhance retention rate in school
By LUCAS FWAMBA | Program Leader
It is very exciting that as we are coming to the end of the year, we have achieved a lot and very impressing work. Early this year we enrolled our feeding program targeting most vulnerable children. More than 60 children, who could not access education, used the feeding program to remain in school as some of them were followed to their homes. “We are very proud has children to be always in school and now we are sitting for our end year exams. We thank our officer from Juhudi who has been with us throughout the year in seeing that we remain in school. We appreciate what you do and hope that you will continually support in the course of next year”. As we were speaking to James a very intelligent orphan boy who led the others in singing, we were touched with her inspiring and words of hope to continue supporting more. More than 100 children who have received our support will sit for end year exams from different schools. As Juhudi we really appreciate those have contributed towards this project. We look forward in increasing more support to other schools to reach more children in the year 2019. God bless you, thank you.

FEEDING PROGRAM SAVES LIFE OF CHILDREN IN SCHOOL
By LUCAS FWAMBA | PROJECT MANAGER
FEEDING PROGRAM SAVES LIFE OF CHILDREN IN SCHOOL
Juhudi children organization operates in an area whereby in the month of June and July we experience hunger. These two months are very critical whereby children goes to school hungry because the food is not at home at all. Their parents have to go every day to work in the big farms of rich people in the area so that they can get food for their children. You find most of the children they don’t go to school. Sometimes they follow their parents to work so that they can get enough food.
This feeding program has saved those children that come from those schools we work with. They make sure they attend school daily so that they cannot miss that food. This has motivated other children from neighboring school to ask transfer. Even their parents have come to our offices pleading to us to help other schools too. We us organization we are trying to reach those schools but the challenge is funds. We cannot manage to support those children from other schools but if we get enough funds from our donors and well wishers, we will reach them. It is our wish to help every child that can afford a meal at home.
On behalf of the organization and children I would like thank all donors and well wisher for your kind donation that we have received since we started this project. We have seen the impact of the project since the inception. God bless you so much.

Feeding program transform lifes of children in sch
By Lucas Fwamba | Programs manager
This feeding program has brought a lot of impact in the school. This year we have witnessed the rate of absenteeism has reduced to zero. Most of the pupils especially in lower classes where they need more of our support have reduced tremendously compared to last years. We did an assessment to all schools that we support. We had to add more schools so that we can reach more children as per our strategic plan. These will enable other children to remain in school rather than going home for lunch. Most their parents they cannot afford lunch every day so this will subsidize them. Their parents are always out working to the farms at least to get something for the family in the evening. Also we have supported them with teaching aids and playing materials for enabling children to learn better.
As the Juhudi we wish to reach more children in Trans-Nzoia where most of the families are squatters and homeless. Most of their children get one meal every day. Other families our affect during the post-election violence in 2007, so they have been displaced. But we thank God that through your continuous support towards the project has really helped us moving. We intend to link up with more well wishers and the community that we work with to support our project so that more children can benefit. I hope this year will touch more lifes that are in needy.
