Mary’s Meals-Mavambo School feeding programme
OBJECTIVE
The programmes’ core objective is to provide a daily school meal to children in their place of education so that the chronically poor children are attracted to the classroom where they gain an education that can provide an escape route for them from poverty for them and future generation.
