Children feeding program in school on high demand.
The feeding program for children in school has been the most powerful project of the year. It has really done well in the school that we work with in Trans-Nzoia County. Most of the children have improved on their health, nutrition and performances also. School retention is very high compared to other years where the number was very low. There is more demand of increasing the number of schools in the project next year. We have done our evaluation for the year and come up with areas to consider and improve. One of the areas that need to be of our concern is the feeding project. This area needs a lot of funds to run the project well.
At the moment we work with 5 schools and we intend to add 5 more schools so that we reach more children. Most of the children come from far and this makes them not to attend school often. We want to reduce absenteeism in school by making them stay in school always. Also these children they can be kidnapped or raped on the way home. We have witnessed such incidences where a child is missing expecially during lunch time hours. We want to make these children to be safe at school.
I want also to thank all the well wishers and donors for your support this year. You made our projects to continue running. On behalf of Juhudi fraternity I want to thank you so much, may almighty God see you through your endeavors. Wish you all merry Christmas and happy new year 2018.
