Education is the most assured pathway to escape poverty and the tool that can be leveraged to advance socio-economically. Despite this assurance, over 260 million primary school-age children do not attend school as of 2018 and over four out of five of these children live in rural areas. more than half of the children enrolled across primary schools globally do not meet the minimum proficiency standards in reading and numeracy. The urban-rural knowledge and education divide is today’s main barrier to achieving universal primary education. Also, the learning ability of rural children is compromised by hunger and malnutrition. Food security and education need to be tackled simultaneously to develop the capacity of rural people to feed themselves and overcome poverty, hunger, and illiteracy. Social protection bridges the education and food security sectorial efforts towards increased effectiveness. With all of these, only 388 million children (about 50%) access some form of school meal and thus, there are still many children who attend school with hungry stomachs. Worth noting is the fact that the children targeted for our Home- Grown School Feeding Programme is faced with multiple challenges including conflict and food insecurity. This is the core mandate of Community Vision Group, to bridge the hunger gap among children while improving educational and nutritional outcomes as well as enhancing agricultural production and boosting local economies. Our “Feed the Child” initiative formulated as Home-Grown School Feeding The program is aimed at providing daily healthy and nutritious meals to children at their place of education. Our model is not only designed to feed children at school, but to source food from the local communities, thereby improving the socio-economic conditions of smallholder farmers in the school communities. Our School Feeding The program is greatly inspired by research and the striking evidence that Home- Grown School Feeding promotes local agricultural production and transforms local food systems create a structured demand process through local procurement as smallholder farmers are linked to schools, and above all, this program provides targeted education and nutrition training to volunteer cooks, teachers, and parents of the beneficiary schools. Community Vision Group School Feeding Programme will also promote a wide range of other educational and training activities in food safety, nutrition, and health. In addition, we will support the training of community-level structures on improved health and nutrition practices. Schools will be supported with tools, seeds and their capacity strengthened to create demonstration plots where different varieties of vegetables can be planted and grown. These sites will be used to promote similar backyard gardening activities at other schools and at family levels. Pumpkin leaves, green beans, okra, cabbage, sweet Potatoes and eggplant are among the crops that will be grown. More specifically, the following will be visible:

Provision of locally sourced daily health and nutritious meals to children at their place of education
Local procurement of food commodities from smallholder farmers
Formation of farmer cooperatives and support to scale production
Capacity development on Health and Nutrition, Safe Food Preparation, improved farming techniques etc
Provision of WASH Specific facilities including toilet blocks, improved water schemes and wash-and provision of vital school-level infrastructures like classrooms, food preparation stations (kitchens), warehouses for commodity storage, etc stations
Development of health and nutrition curriculum for schools
Advocacy and awareness-raising campaigns for school health and nutrition
