This is a stunning collection of images from some our school meals programmes in Uganda. These projects help children grow and learn by providing them with nutritious food and a good reason to stay in school. 

Now that these kids don’t have to think about where their next meal is coming from, they can focus on learning.

WFP school meals are designed to help the government of Uganda address hunger. By strengthening the minds of school kids, however, school meals do more than address hunger: they invest in the next generation.
