The activities of the project include: (1) offer daily nutritious meals to 180 000 school-aged children to increase their attendance and their academic achievement; (2) offer economic opportunities for women in rural areas through local purchasing.
Expected results
The expected results of this project include: (1) Reducing chronic hunger for school-aged children; (2) increasing primary school attendance and academic achievement rates (particularly for girls); (3) stimulation of economic growth of communities, especially of women.
