School Feeding: We provide daily nutritious meals at partner schools so children can focus in class.
Education Support: We provide uniforms, books, and fee support to keep vulnerable children enrolled.
Family Support: We offer emergency food and parenting workshops to create stable homes for learning.
Results: Education Working
Because children are fed and fees are covered, we’re seeing education become a real path to success:
1. Attendance: Average attendance rose significantly in schools with feeding programs.
2. Retention: Most supported children stayed enrolled this term compared to the district average.
3. Performance: A strong number of our P7 candidates passed to secondary last year, up from before the program.
Story of Impact
Dorren , age 11, used to miss 3 days a week to help her mother sell fish. After joining our feeding program and receiving a uniform, she now attends daily. She ranked near the top of her class last term and wants to be a nurse. Education is now her key to success.
The Way Forward
Education remains the key, but we need to help more children grab it. With additional support, we can:
1. Add more schools to the feeding program so more children stay in class.
2. Create a P7 transition program so graduates don’t stop at primary.
3. Build food reserves to protect against supply disruptions.
Conclusion
Education is the key to success only when children can get to school, stay in school, and focus while there.
Your support makes that possible in Gaba. Thank you for unlocking futures with us.
