Many children in rural Nigeria attend school hungry or skip classes entirely due to lack of food. This project will provide daily school meals for 1,000 children every month. The meals will be prepared by local women using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Your donation will help improve school attendance and allow children to concentrate while in class.
In many rural Nigerian communities, students attend school on empty stomachs or miss school entirely due to food shortages at home. Hunger affects focus, energy levels, and school performance. Inconsistent meals reduce the incentive for children to attend and stay in school, especially in poor households.
This project will set up school kitchens and feed 1,000 children every school day with nutritious, cooked meals. Local women will be engaged to prepare the food, and ingredients will be sourced from local farmers and markets. Reliable meals will improve daily school attendance and help children stay alert in class.
Regular meals can help children remain in school longer and perform better. It reduces dropouts caused by hunger and encourages families to prioritize education. It also creates small jobs for cooks and food vendors, and boosts demand for local produce.
