School Based Feeding Program in San Jose Elementary School provides both educational and health benefits to 12 severely wasted and 32 wasted learners, thereby increasing enrollment rates, reducing absenteeism and improving

food security at the household level. Lasting for 120 days, the feeding program targets the restoration of beneficiaries to their normal nutritional status and the improvement of class attendance.

This year, the feeding program started this month of July and ends in December.

A child’s nutritional status is assessed before and after the program to determine if the students have reached their ideal nutritional status.
