The School Feeding Programme helps schools sustainably grow their own food for a healthy school breakfast, in order to reduce malnutrition among the most vulnerable children.
The goal of the School Feeding Programme is to make schools self-sufficient in offering a healthy school breakfast. We achieve this by supporting schools to grow their own moringa, maize, soy and peanuts in a sustainable, organic way.
We will take these steps during the School Feeding Programme.
We are building adequate cooking facilities at the school location to make school breakfast.
The school breakfast that we offer children is a porridge made from moringa, corn, soya and peanuts. This recipe is inspired by a traditional Malawian porridge called 'Likuni Pala', but we also add moringa for a higher nutritional value.
At the primary school in the Matunka Center, the children receive a school breakfast every morning. Since nurse Ineke Selles came up with the idea to add Moringa to breakfast, the children have much more energy and are less likely to get sick!
Part of our mission
School teachers, children and parents learn how to grow crops without costly artificial fertilisers. This gives them huge benefits! Indeed, 80% of the population live from their own crops and can realise massive savings on their current expenses, as they spend 30 to 50 percent of their total income on fertilisers. In addition, the agricultural land will become more fertile and the harvest will be of better quality, using organic compost.
These schools participate in the School Feeding Programme and are still waiting for a sponsor.
