Sanda Community School Feeding Project

Hunger is one of the biggest barriers to education. Many children at Sanda Community School come from impoverished families who cannot afford regular meals. These children often attend school on empty stomachs, making it difficult to concentrate and learn.

The Problem:

• Many children go to school without breakfast
• Lack of proper nutrition affects concentration and learning
• Malnourished children are more susceptible to illness
• Some children skip school entirely due to hunger

Our Solution:

The Sanda Community School Feeding Project provides one nutritious meal per day to every child at the school. This ensures that children have the energy they need to focus on their studies and stay healthy.

What Your Support Provides:

• Daily meals for 150+ children
• Nutritious food including rice, beans, posho, vegetables, and occasionally meat or eggs
• Cooking supplies and equipment
• Kitchen staff salaries
• Food storage facilities

Cost Breakdown:

It costs approximately $0.50 per child per day to provide a nutritious meal. For 150 children, that's $75 per day or $1,500 per month.

Impact of School Feeding:

• Improved school attendance and reduced dropouts
• Better concentration and academic performance
• Reduced malnutrition and improved health
• Increased energy for play and physical activity
• Peace of mind for parents who struggle to provide meals
