It’s the day we all have been waiting for! The launch of our First School Lunch Program!! The girls and boys of Excel Junior School in Nangunga, Uganda will enjoy a hot meal of nutritious food each day of school.
Take a look at some of the photos from our launch! We want to especially thank our gracious donors who give so generously to make these meals a reality for these children.
The overarching goals for this school lunch program is to increase nutritious food intake, reduce food insecurity, and foster a more optimistic view of the future. We also aim to improve school performance and attendance!It’s take a community to feed so many children everyday. Volunteers from the village of Nangunga graciously volunteer their time and skill in preparing nutritious meals for these students. Our Feeding Villages volunteers in Uganda worked closely with school administrators and parents to launch this school lunch program, a first for Excel Junior School. We plan to feed upwards of 300 students each and every day! We hope that our school lunch program at Excel Junior School will help fight malnutrition and hunger for hundreds of children. These hot lunches will have the potential to improve student’s school attendance and performance, and to even increase household food security.Food brings people together. And children are no exception to this. All children deserve the chance to succeed. School administrators, parents, and Feeding Villages volunteers are hard at work to create profound, generational change at Excel Junior School in Nangunga, Uganda.
Stayed tuned for more updates in the coming weeks! You don’t want to miss out!
