Many children in rural Uganda attend school without having eaten a nutritious meal. Hunger makes it difficult for them to concentrate, participate in lessons and maintain consistent attendance. For some families, food insecurity means that breakfast is not always available before the school day begins.
This can affect children’s learning outcomes and overall wellbeing, making it harder for them to stay engaged in education. By addressing hunger at the start of the school day, the programme helps create a more stable learning environment where children are better able to focus and succeed.
Working with local schools and partners, we fund a daily Breakfast Club that provides maize porridge to children each school morning. This simple but effective intervention ensures that children begin the day with energy and are better prepared to learn.
The programme is delivered in partnership with local communities, who help with preparation and distribution. This shared approach helps build ownership and ensures the programme is embedded within the school environment.
