Published purpose
This initiative seeks to improve the health and education of schoolchildren by providing school meals and health and sanitation facilities in 1,700 schools in marginalized drought-prone areas of Kenya. The initiative uses innovative market-based approaches that build linkages between schools and local farmers and traders to ensure a steady supply of quality food. School feeding programs improve student performance and provide parents with an incentive to send their children to school. This initiative ensures the continuous delivery of the Kenyan school-feeding program, while improving the ability of local authorities to transition to a successful program managed by the Kenyan government.
