Project Report | Nov 23, 2024
Nutritious meals and brighter futures!

By Cara Myers | Director of Development and Innovation

Greetings from Mozambique!

On November 15th, we closed out the 2024 school year in Mozambique, ending another successful year of serving more kids than ever with nutritious and delicious meals. This year, the Mozambique School Lunch Initiative (MSLI) has made significant strides in enhancing the nutritional health and educational outcomes of children in Chokwe and Mabalane districts of Mozambique. This initiative addresses both food insecurity and educational barriers, providing nutritious meals that improve concentration and learning capabilities in the classroom. Feedback from teachers and parents indicates that students are more engaged and perform better academically when they receive regular, balanced meals at school. For the students themselves, many say that the school meal is a key driver for helping them attend school everyday. Indeed, we have seen that after the school lunch program starts, schools report much fewer instances of absenteeism attributed to hunger-related issues.

In addition to providing meals, the initiative has fostered local agricultural partnerships to source ingredients. By collaborating with local farmers, the program not only supports the local economy but also promotes the consumption of culturally relevant foods. This month MSLI purchased several tons of beans from local farmers.

Looking ahead, the Mozambique School Lunch Initiative aims to expand its reach to more remote areas, where access to nutritious food is critical. With continued support and commitment, we are poised to make a lasting impact on the lives of Mozambican children and their communities. Thank you for your support in making this happen!
