'The feeding programme at Turning Point is very important for the children that come here. For lots of them they only get the breakfast and lunch we give them. When they go home they don’t eat. So they like to come and eat here. We give them different meals. In the morning everyone gets a mandazi. Then the school children go to school and they get lunch at school. The children in the centre get lunch here. On Monday and Thursday we give them beans and rice. On Tuesday and Friday we feed them ugali and ndengu and on Wednesdays they get githeri (a mix of beans and maize) and cabbage.
I decided we should feed the children different meals everyday because I realised that they would get bored of having the same meal everyday and also they need to have different foods to get the different nutrients.
Then the children can go home with and they might not eat until the next day but they have had a healthy meal and leave with a full stomach so they don’t have to beg or steal to get food.'
