Transforming Education Through Nutrition
Our School Feeding Program continues to demonstrate remarkable impact, with enrollment rates reaching an impressive 96% across all 524 participating schools in the Tigray region.
By providing daily nutritious meals to 276,000 students, we are not only addressing immediate hunger but fundamentally transforming educational outcomes. Teachers report significant improvements in student concentration, reduced absenteeism, and enhanced learning capacity.
Key Achievements:
- 96% enrollment rate maintained across all schools
- 276,000 students receiving daily nutritious meals
- 524 schools benefiting from the program
- Reduced absenteeism by providing consistent meal access
- Improved concentration and academic performance
The program goes beyond just feeding children—it's providing families with the confidence that their children will be nourished, enabling parents to keep their children in school instead of seeking work to provide food.
"Since the feeding program started, I've seen my students come to school every day with energy and enthusiasm. They can focus on learning instead of thinking about their next meal."
