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.
