Feed 600 Children School Lunch in Tanzania

In May of 2014, 3 board members and 4 supporters of AfricAid went on an Insight Trip to visit AfricAid's programs. The group visited Losononi Primary to see how the school lunch program is doing and were impressed by the high test scores of the students, as well as the high level of attendance.  These achievements are because of the lunches AfricAid provides that are not provided in other government schools.  The Masai children only have chai (hot milk tea) for breakfast and a small dinner, so receiving lunch at school provides students with a nutricious meal to both keep them healthy and stay focused while in class.  Furthermore, Losinoni recently planted a small garden to add more vegetables and fruit to the childrens' diet. Without these meals, nearly 600 children would be spending a day at school with a hungry tummy.

Thank you all for supporting AfricAid's Losinoni School Lunch Program! Losinoni is a rural primary school located in a Massai village in Tanzania. Maria Galter, AfricAid's Executive Director, recently visited Losinoni and saw the impact first-hand of the lunch program.

Losinoni currently partners with two organizations, AfricAid and Isitutos Oikos, to provide food for the children. Istitutos Oikos provides Losinoni with seeds and technical expertise for a small school garden to add vegetables and fruits to the childrens' diet, while AfricAid provides rice, beans, and maize. AfricAid would not be able to do this without the support of donors like you, as well as the Maasai Mamas. The Maasai Mamas are a group of Losinoni childrens' mothers who hand craft bracelets that AfricAid sells in the US to support the lunch program. These partnerships provide nearly 600 students with a nutricious lunch in Tanzania.
