📢 Hunger should not stand between a child & their education.

➡️ #SchoolMeals bridge this gap.

How?

✅ They provide an incentive to vulnerable families to send children to school.
✅ Once children are in class on a full stomach, children can focus on learning.

🎙️ Sirtaj Kaur, Public Policy Lead, Global Partnership for Education:

"#SchoolMeals are vital amid economic challenges and war. They are a cross-sectoral intervention that sits at the intersection of transforming education systems and addressing central challenges.

Schools, often the most widespread institutions in any country, are at the center of these efforts. GPE backs national visions, providing funding and coordinated action to tackle poverty and hunger. Our school nutrition initiative with @WFP strengthens national capacities.”

I am a refugee from Syria. Like me, 75 million children live in countries affected by conflict and humanitarian emergencies. Education is our hope at a better life, a life beyond war. But we know there can be no education system without proper planning or funding!#GAWE2018Chat https://t.co/SMaNT61Rlf
