THE SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMME

Following the outbreak of drought disaster we decide to conduct a school feeding program to some schools with the help of nutrition program. We managed to distribute the daily food to Muthaiga primary, Katheri primary, Gitero primary and Tigithi primary schools. The food item which was in the package was Maize, beans, carrots, onions, tomatoes, cabbages, rice, green grams, salt and cooking oil.

The feeding program has helped in these schools because the children get enough food in school and therefore they are always present in class. The schools are very grateful to the Chalice organization and Baraka Community Care Center, Nanyuki for such a grate assistance which is very positive to the school. Katheri primary were very grateful because it was their first time to receive such a donation although their population was very high.

We are playing a big role in these schools that we support because most of these children depend on one meal a day and it is too challenging to perform in school with empty stomach. The parents are also grateful because of the support we gave their children and at the same time they play a small role in contributing and facilitating on the school administration to maintain the cooking practice by paying some little amount for a cook to cater for their children. This has encourage children to be present in school and the same time improvement in classroom is rising day by day due to the participation and concentration of the children in class.

The Baraka site is playing a big role in our community to make our young children be present in school and at the same time perform in classroom. This also makes and improves the health condition of the child and makes everything else easy in school. We CMI Fathers together the Kenyan people kindly request your valuable prayers in order to help in these schools.
