Savings Loans Association piloted a feeding school program at Natuseko Community School. The results were phenomenal with increased school enrollment among children from poor families. There is a direct collaration between school feeding program and school attendence and enrollment among children.
With funding from the African Millennium Foundation, a USA based group, SLA gave a small grant to purchase food packs for children who only came to school. It was observed that children who are fed, consentrate in class and feel eager to attend school. Furthermore, when we asked the parents or caregivers of the children, the parents were more supportive to send their children to school becuase "our children are assured of a meal at school then staying at home
SLA plans to support additional school feeding packs for an additional term begining 2010 once funding is sourced. For more information on supporting our school feeding program, please contact Savings Loans Association or send us an e-mail
