Food for All Africa launched the school feeding program in 2016, establishing school feeding kitchens in the poorest and unreached primary schools in order to provide a daily hot nutritious meal to students throughout their school year. Our School Feeding Program aims to provide nutritious meals to enhance the students' health and encourage them to attend school and increase their ability to concentrate and comprehend in class. It covers schools that are currently not under the Government
24% of children deaths in Ghana are due to malnutrition. 33% of children in Ghana (age 6-18 yrs.) are stunted due to malnutrition. Stunting affects child's ability to comprehend and concentrate during class. Stunted children are more likely to fail in education by 2% compared to nourished children. Repetition rate in primary governmental schools reached 12%. 90% of the people suffering from hunger and poverty are mainly present in developing countries, which includes Ghana
Food for All Africa is West Africa's first and largest community food redistribution organization in Ghana. We implement a model called food banking. Retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers, farmers and growers partner with us to recover their edible surplus food and distribute it responsibly to provide greater access to food for vulnerable groups across our country. The School Feeding Program aims to provide nutritious meals to enhance the students' health and encourage them to attend school
Our school feeding program covers schools that are currently not under Government of Ghana's school feeding program. School Feeding Kitchen is additionally an opportunity for the students' mothers to develop their skills and obtain a job. Food for All provides cooking and nutrition sessions for the students' mothers (theoretical & practical) and then chooses the best 5 cooks and hire them for monthly salaries as kitchen chefs in a school, and another two as a kitchen general supervisor
