In his Gatanga constituency, MP Hon. Wakili Muriu has introduced a feeding program that provides affordable, balanced meals to students for just KES 20, ensuring no child goes hungry while learning.
The program is already operational in 25 schools, with plans to cover all 87 primary and junior secondary schools in his area.
The program ensures that no child goes hungry by providing affordable meals at just Ksh. 20, encouraging consistent school attendance.
With hunger no longer a barrier, students are more likely to stay in school and participate fully in their learning.
Nutritious meals improve students’ concentration, focus, and energy levels, which are critical for academic success.
Healthy, well-fed students are better equipped to engage with their studies and perform at their best in the classroom.
The use of smartwatches for meal payments brings technology into schools, fostering a culture of innovation.
This digital solution makes the meal system more efficient, secure, and transparent, while also preparing students for a tech-driven future.
The program benefits the local economy by sourcing ingredients from nearby suppliers and creating job opportunities for local cooks.
This not only supports small businesses but also strengthens community resilience by keeping the economic benefits within the area.
With meals priced at just KES 20, the program is designed to be affordable for families, reducing the financial strain on parents.
This inclusivity ensures that every child, regardless of their financial background, has access to nutritious food, contributing to equal opportunities in education.
