Children’s brains are growing every day, and they need nutritious food to fuel their development. Your Better World Gift helps children eat hearty meals, so they can develop vital skills as babies and toddlers, and learn well at school.
Product info:
Schools in Uganda provide a midday meal for students, but many rural schools don’t have the resources to do so. Our Partner’s projects have helped schools establish gardens that provide produce for midday meals and give students the opportunity to learn about good agricultural practices.
The school gardens may include corn, sweet potatoes, beans, and other vegetables, depending on the region and what the preferred foods are. Provision of this midday meal ensures that children can concentrate throughout the day and have better opportunities to learn. Depending on the time of year, for some children, this might be their main meal of their day.
