School meals

We believe that the best way to help school children living in poverty is to provide food to encourage them to attend schools. Since 2011 WAN AID launched the school feeding program as a measure to fight poverty and an incentive to reduce absenteeism and ultimately help students to improve their academic performance.

We started with two schools in Eid Hessian and Buri Nasir. Initially we provided daily meals to fifty students in Eid Hessain and expanded to 50 students in Buri Nasir.

The Majority of our meals that were served to the students were the popular classic Fool and Falafel mix sandwich.

Other areas covered were Tendelti and the program then extended to Alfatah in north Omdurman.

In 2020 WAN AID was able to provide meals to almost 800 students.
