FEEDING YOUNG MINDS

Good nutrition is the single most important factor to a child’s performance in school. More important even than the teaching, the school building or the textbooks. The availability of food in some areas is very poor and the incidences of malnutrition and associated illnesses are high. When families are struggling to feed their children, school attendance drops, as the children do not have the energy to walk long distances just to go to school, while parents are more focused on survival.

We provide free school lunches to over 1,100 children at ten different schools in the Westgate Community Conservancy where our lodge Sasaab is situated. We supply maize, rice, beans, flour and oil to prepare nutritious lunches. It provides a huge incentive for children to stay in school and helps to feed their brains with the energy they need to reach their academic potential. In total we provide around 250,000 school lunches every year to the students around Sasaab.

Since the Feeding Young Minds Programme was launched in 2008, it has met with huge success and support from the parent and community elders.
