Feeding Villages is proud to announce our partnership with Excel Junior School in Nangunga, Uganda. On September 16th, the students at the school started a new quarter, and our matching contribution will help serve upwards of 300 students a nutritious, hot lunch each and every school day!

This school lunch program will be a lifeline for 300 students and their parents living in a region plagued by malnutrition and food insecurity.

Based on our interviews with parents, most of the their children attend school with nothing to eat for the entire day.

By providing a daily lunch for each student, we hope to:

-Improve nutrition and overall health
-Improve academic performance
-Improve attendance of students
-Support the local economy by purchasing food near the village

The school lunches will consist of items such as rice, beans, nuts, dairy, fruits, and/or vegetables. Variety and portion size will depend on market prices and total funds available for the month.
