Food for school children in kibera slums kenya

Chenda kalaha educational centre foodstuffs donation request

Our school feeding programme provides a free daily lunch to around 250 children across our community primary schools and beyond. Without this meal, many of these children would go through the school day without any food, severely impacting on both their well-being and their learning.

The problem

Many children arrive at school having had little or no breakfast. Without a lunch at school some children would choose to stay at home, while those at school would go through the day learning on an empty stomach or be forced to walk home at lunchtime in the hope of finding a meal.

Our solution

Our feeding programme provides our schools with the foodstuffs to serve a daily term-time lunch to each and every pupil. It is a basic but nutritious meal of maize/rice and beans, however for many of these children, it is often their only guaranteed meal of the day.

The impact

By providing a daily lunch to children in school we remove hunger as a barrier to learning. An active feeding programme encourages pupils to attend school in the first place and then keeps them there throughout the day. The programme also provides health and educational benefits to these vulnerable and impoverished children by helping to keep minds and bodies fuelled for productive and asuccessful learning, allowing them to focus on their education rather than their empty stomach.
