About

Profile

Provide a school community with a nutritious school lunch program for one month that will increase student attendance and participation in class, decrease malnutrition, and improve child health.

Project History

The Olosiyoi community is in great need of support for a lunch program. Free The Children recently constructed a school in the community, as a lack of infrastructure meant that 80% of school-aged children were not attending primary school.

Additionally 90% of the population in Olosiyoi live in extreme poverty, without access to proper nutrition or clean water. This project will enable students to study and improve their health through the provision of a lunch program at the school.

Project Impact

School lunch programs are good for increasing student concentration and encouraging student attendance and participation in class. This project will benefit 250 students.
