We will continue the school feeding program at Sabrina Primary School/Bwagamoyo Nursery School in Pengo/Kenya also in 2012

The children are getting Uji (a kind of porridge) for breakfast - because many of them come to school with an empty stomach - and a healthy and balanced lunch.

The drought of the last years and the famine in East-Africa is also noticeable in Kwale District.
The last harvest was bad and the forecast for the next one is not much better.

Due to the higher prices for food in Kenya we had to recalculate the needs for the school-feeding-program.
For the new need of about 2,60 € per child per month we took in account the prices of the last buying in october and the estimated number of children in 2012. For this amount the pupils of Sabrina Primary School and Bwagamoyo Nursery School will get a breakfast and a healthy and balanced lunch on each school-day. The children are satisfied, stay healthy and the financial burden on the families is reduced.

Please help us to manage this higher financial need and thus ensure the health of the children of Pengo furthermore. Since the start of the school-feeding-program (in the beginning of 2010) the state of health of the children improved permanently and recognisably.

What about a sponsoring for 10,40 € each month? This satisfies 4 children.
