The Pupils

A lack of a school is only one of the factors preventing village children from attending full time education.

The Trust is making funds available for a meal each day for pupils while they are at school. It is shocking to realise that, without this provision, village children will often miss school during the hungry (i.e. dry) season to scavenge for food (rats, mice, birds, and fruits) in the bush.

Children are used around the home and in the fields to help with domestic chores and farming. A meal helps to ease acute pressure on families, and encourage them to release children from this type of work.

The cost of feeding one child for a year is approximately £45 (or just 86p per week). Monthly contributions toward the cost of this programme are particularly appreciated.
